I have no problem trying to get a late first for a flyer though
At the tenth pick, I'd probably draft Thomas Sorber center from Georgetown. He seems like the best and safest combination of all of the top prospects at the center position.
That being said, the Bulls is going to lose out on a good prospect whether it's 2025 or 2026. Personally, I like the 2025 draft due to its quality big man depth around the range the Bulls should be drafting.
FWIW I have been going through the athletic Mock and they have him going 17th and he sounds fine but not so great.
Sorber has been among the most productive freshmen in the country, and scouts are fascinated to see how he performs in Big East play. Sorber’s stats jump off the page — he’s averaging 15.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.3 blocks. However, the numbers do fall off a bit against better competition. Sorber was averaging 13.6 points and 5.8 rebounds while shooting 44 percent from the field in his first six games against high-majors; he put up 11 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks Tuesday against No. 7 Marquette. Listed at 6-10, Sorber will be undersized for the center position in the NBA, and scouts are a bit skeptical he’ll come in at that size without shoes once he gets a full measurement at the combine.
The name that comes up a bit with him is Xavier Tillman. Sorber is relatively below-the-rim and struggles to shoot from a distance, which has led scouts to wonder what exactly the role is on offense beyond being able to short-roll and pass. However, much like Tillman, Sorber is terrific positionally on defense and seems to have very high-level reaction time. Sorber might end up being a multi-year guy, or he might end up being a one-and-done. But he’s been superb for Georgetown.
