He's spent most of the season as a 17 year-old, and completely dominated in the 5 games since he turned 18. All playing against high level competition.

Flagg is going to be the #1 overall pick, he should be, and has a chance to be an MVP-caliber talent. Nothing we've seen this season does anything but support that prognosis.

Yeah I see a high IQ all-around impact player who can still improve many ways, but overall, has the iso moves, stroke and defensive awareness to be rookie of year and keep ascending.

Anything can happen, but I’m glad to draft him.

If the league wants to maintain the viability of the Bulls franchise they will fix the ping pong balls in our favor come draft time. It's our only hope. We need a potential super star. We haven't gotten the chance to draft one since 2008. We've suffered long enough.

Our goal should be the 5th pick.

Pels Hornets Blazers and Sixers all passing us. Sixers are a given. If Hornets and Pels stay healthy they will pass us. If Scoot keeps playing good and Blazers stay somewhat healthy we can get there.

The Bulls are not passing the Hornets. I doubt they'll pass the Blazers, they're way too young and inexperienced. The Bulls will be lucky to finish 8th at this rate.

Read on Twitter

I haven't watched him recently but Ace is having some impressive performances.

Game is slowing down for him.

He’s making winning plays on both ends.

I think he will grow into his body and that will give him more explosion and help him a ton off the bounce.

I really like the top 4 in this draft.

7th or 8th I think. Depends on pels and Philly.

Really liked what I saw of Tre Johnson. So far in looking at those labeled top picks, and expecting us to draft around 6-10 I think he is the most realistic.

I looked at 7 mock drafts top 14 picks and ended up with 7 players I would be excited about in the first 10 picks

1 Cooper Flagg
2 Dylan Harper
3 Ace Bailey
4 Kasparas Jakucionis
5 Tre Johnson
6 Asa Newell
7 Noa Essengue

Edgecome fills a definite role for us.

Aggressive super athlete with no skills?

POA defender/utility guy.

Basically a contender level version of the Ayo archetype.

Not a franchise changing guy but he can potentially play a role in an elite lineup.

Without a 3 ball or handle he’s Keon Johnson.

Watching Asa Newell vs Florida...anyone got a feel on Alex Condon from Florida? Averaging 10 and 8 with 1.5 blocks and 44% from 3 on low volume.

This guy continues to show more game on both sides. He’s a winner. Competes. He’d be a good pick and may even develop into a 1st option Jimmy Buckets style. He’s moved up to 5 on my board.

I watched him a few weeks ago against UK. He might be a prospect in another year or two.
