Official: Draft Day Game Thread

I decided ~ 5 days ago that Knecht was overrated. Not much of which he does outside of shooting translates. His usage was 33% in college, and it will probably be ~ 20% in the pros. Usage compression for non-athlete offense first prospects is a bad sign. Shannon is the better choice among 5th year guys.

KC is wrong again.

Did something happen?

No nothing, but I think he’s wrong saying bulls don’t want to be competitive. No move has indicated that.

I can dream can't i!

[rosenthall]

McCain, DaSilva, Missi are all better prospects than Knecht.

Everything he does translates

[Chi town]

If Knecht dropping like this where will Shannon go due to age?

He's not likely to be a good defender. He has good hops but not change of direction or a first step so I don't see him doing much off the dribble. He'll be a good shooter for sure, and a playable rotation player, but he does not have intriguing upside.

I won't be surprised if he hits Max Strus level, which is good at this point in the draft, but you don't take a guy like that top 10. For right now though he's an okay pick.

Hopefully undrafted and staying in Chicago

KC Johnson:

"Make no mistake: Not only is Zach LaVine available for trade, the Bulls are open for business. And with growing buzz that DeMar DeRozan will be elsewhere next season, either via a sign-or-trade or simply walking in unrestricted free agency, the buzzword is no longer competitiveness.

It's Cooper."

Idk man I'll believe it when we finally see a trade for Zach and Vooch.

Vuc doesn’t do much make us competitive and we need bodies at center. So he might stick around until the end of his deal. I don’t really care either way because the rebuild is clearly in swing.

People really this shocked at Knect falling? he is basically Dougie McBuckets 2.0 which makes him no more than a bench role player...and he is already much older than most. I called this fall a month ago and no one believe me. Same with the last few days of all these people clamouring for TSJ at 10-12 range...another older player that will fall.

Both guys will be decent long term pros most likely but niether one is anything more than a role player for their career likely

[kodo]

Really strange for Knecht, word was he looked great in workouts.

[Chicagoat]

Givony seemed butthurt that Knecht is falling.

[chicago paxsons]

There was a trade and it wasn't chicago!

[TheSuzerain]

Let's trade back in.

Go get Furphy.

Knecht is twice the athlete mcbuckets is

I think KC is right. We aren’t gonna flat out tank, but if we lose a lot getting all these young players experience they are fine with it.

I just don’t see us keeping DeMar at this point and they will try as hard as possible to move Zach.

I don't think i'm asking for the moon. I'm just tired of lavine in a bulls jersey.

I could make an argument that keeping Vooch helps us be bad.

The biggest reason he's falling is age. Knecht and Doug don't have many similarities besides being white and shooting.

Nah. He's going to bum slay and win enough games to get us the 7th pick.

[Muzbar]

Knecht is a Reddick pick for sure.
