Figured I'd get this started before the other thread hits 100. I'm sure we'll need this for Wednesday. Final poll included for what prospects we want with 4 or in the event that we trade down.

Dark horse kira!

Wiseman if he drops just because he seems to be the most talented theoretically. Realistically fine with any of the options that AK goes with simply because he has way more access to information than I do, and more skill at reading that intel. If Wiseman drops to 4 though I would wonder why he did, I get that Minny doesn’t need him with KAT but I would assume he is gone by 4. GSW makes sense if they hold on to the pick.

Wiseman in the extremely unlikely event that he drops, but I doubt it so Kira.

No Ball? Hes not my choice but hes a realistic option at 4 and I think some at least like him. Wiseman is almost no shot to be there at 4 IMO.

If we stay at 4 my vote is Deni. My optimal is still trade back for hayes but idk if there are any buyers.

Voted Vassell, but Kira is my close 2nd. Either way. Get one of those two and we can make something out this franchise.

No Edwards or Ball?

Where's Poku?

I eliminated Wiseman from my pick, as I think it's exceedingly doubtful he drops to 4.

I went with Okoro, and for the record I have absolutely no firm opinion on this draft whatsoever. I think I've decided on six different guys now at some point.

I'm still on the Hayes train.
And on Nesmith Island with a 2nd first rounder.

I presume that anyone voting Wiseman, is aware that it would require a trade up.

Poll only lets me include 10 options unfortunately. Ball and Nesmith had to be dropped as options.

Sounds like Haliburton to me.

Based on KC’s read between the lines tweet.

In: Deni, Hali, Okoro, Hayes

Out: Edwards, Ball, Wiseman

Maybe: Kira, Toppin, Williams, Vassell, Okongwu

If Ball, Wiseman or Edwards are available at 4 they will be wearing a BULLS jersey.

I would have to think so as well. Just surprised to see KC post something that cryptic 48 hours before the draft.

I think KC is referring to why the Bulls would dump Dunn and Shaq but keep Valentine. Onely one of those three players can pass and and shoot.

Ugh, just getting that same vibe I had heading into the McDouggy crapfest draft. No Deni, No Deni, NO DENI!!! Just surrender the pick - "with the 4th pick, the Chicago Bulls say..."no thanks, we're good."

This year was always touted as the “PG draft”. I think drafting a PG @ 4 is a reach (unless Ball is here). You can trade down, acquire additional talent, and still have a choice of potentially Hayes, Lewis Jr., Hampton, Cole Anthony. I don’t see why you’d take a limited ceiling Deni in this Draft when the “SF draft” is next year and there will be 7-8 really high level prospects to have.
