I like this guy if he's available in the 2nd round.

He had a down year for the Brisbane Bullets but I absolutely want the Bulls to go after Rocco Zikarsky.

Buy a pick in the second round and get him, he has potential and good size.

Queen has 25 points... but 5 rebounds (Florida is out rebounding Maryland by 20). Maryland down 15.

If your a college kid right now, you're hoping you land in Chicago.

I don't see what role JT Toppin has in the NBA. A 6'7 interior scoring big with no outside shot and no right hand.

Picking around 13-17, I think our guy will be Essengue. Just seems like an AK type of player. Versatile long wing with ball handling and passing skills. Can get some steals and block shots but needs work on his 3pt.

Basically a Terry/Matas hybrid, for better or worse.

Yep. Giddey would help him quite a bit.

If we don’t take Beringer with our mid teens first than I would get Rocco in the 2nd.

Man, Flagg is the real deal. Whoever lucks into him gets a franchise-altering player.

He’s really interesting to watch. I’m not sure I can think of a comp, stylistically. He’s just this big massive powerful force who plays with insane intensity and power while also having some delicate finesse aspects to his game.

I cannot think of a really good example for a player like him. Not sure what his ceiling is, but also can’t recall a player exactly like him. Any ideas?

A bigger Jimmy Butler with a jump shot. And, one hopes, better off-court behavior. That's the closest comp I can offer. If you're having trouble seeing the similarities, here they are -

1) They're point forwards, not simply scoring and/or rebounding forwards.
2) They don't make long outlet passes, they bring the ball up the court.
3) They control the pace of the game when in the half court.
4) They tend to take fewer shots early in the game, to get their teammates going, and demand the ball late.
5) They are often accused of being too unselfish -- their coaches want them to shoot more.
6) They are strong, physical players who draw a lot of fouls.
7) They are elite on-ball defenders, due to their strength and excellent agility for their size.
8) They are elite off-ball defenders, due to their focus and high BBIQ.

Tatum might also be a decent comp. Not during his first few years in the league, when he was a solo act. But his playmaking has dramatically improved, so that he now is pretty good at leading an offense.
