Way too pemature to say something like this. Even the best experts don't know how this draft class will shape out to be.

Yeah Zion broke out at Duke. Any of these prospects can do the same. Regarding can’t miss prospects, People are saying that Emoni Bates is on the same level as LeBron James. He probably will be the number 1 pick in the 2022 NBA draft. He’s just a Sophomore in high school now. I’ve included an article about him below.

I get that but the only thing about the supposed #1 is that he shares a name with Goose from Top Gun and that another prospect is from the Ball family.

Maybe somebody will break out but right now I don't see a guy who can change a franchise like a Zion or perhaps even Morant.

Bulls with the 2020 9th pick!

Pax: We're actually really confident about the player we're going to draft at #9. He's our favorite kid in the draft. We've had our eye on him actually for 2 years now.

I'm happy if we got LaMelo Ball.

He's better than everyone we have here right now. He's gonna be better than Lonzo Ball. LaMelo is proving himself among grown experienced men currently. That's a huge positive. Lonzo Ball never did that.

I don't get the negativity around LaMelo. Is it because of his dad? I don't care about that.

We need ballers. Only Wendell Carter and MAYBE Coby White are ballers here.

I'll be VERY happy if we got into top 4. We're extremely lucky if that happened. We have NO luck however so I'm expecting picks 7-10.

Thing about LaMelo is that his jumper's completely broke and he is lost on defense. Lot of potential but need to consider that.

Cole Anthony is the guy I'd be stoked with. He's a top tier PG prospect. Anthony Edwards is a 2 but a potential franchise talent imo, would be stoked with him.

Beyond that, I'd keep an eye on all of Maxey/Maledon/Hayes/Hampton/Ball/Mann and see how ends up standing out from that pack. Then Avdija, Lewis, Okoro, McDaniels I would keep an eye on.

It's a pity there's no franchise changers like the last few years this time around (so it seems atm). 2021 I would say Cade Cunningham has franchise player talent.

Much better game from Melo offensively, though he still took too many iso pull ups and his team defense was still absolute trash. All the gimmicks that Lavar had LaMelo playing really affected his b-ball IQ. Melo undeniably has special court vision and handles but he is a very black and white prospect. The good is really good and the bad is really bad. The question becomes, can he fill in the gray area?

How about James Wiseman? He’s number 1 on most draft boards. The Bulls need to get the best player available. No only is good enough on this team to start overlooking talent for positional need.

Anthony Edwards is playing. Dude is strong as hell, knocking defenders out of the way like it’s nothing.

One of my early favorite prospects is Jalen Smith from Maryland. I want to see how he progresses from his freshman year.

Two potential franchise cornerstones that I can picture playing on the Bulls if we're lucky. Hell, maybe getting 3 7th picks in a row means that our next lottery pick will be the number 1 pick. :nod:

Anyone see that MSU Kentucky game? Holy crap that Maxie kid's debut was impressive as hell. Stifling defense, clutch shots, pumping up his teammates like a leader. I have fallen off paying attention to college ball, and hardly know anything about the kid. What a terrific game he had, though.

He could go top 5 when it's all set and done.

Wiseman looks good.

Similar to Myles Turner. Good bounce and finisher around the rim, also fantastic rim protector.

I'm big on Edwards. Two way 2 guard that can power his way to the rim. Oladipo has been the comp for him and I see it.

Onyeka Okongwu looks like the real deal. Top 5 pick potentially.

Seems real comfortable at NBA range 3 from those clips.

Interesting. Not impressed with Anthony's shot either looks streaky, or his ability to consistently create, great athlete though, I still need to watch more though as it's still early in his first game of the season. Edwards looks like a top prospect, needs to tighten up his handle, but his shot and athleticism does look GOOD. But to me, Ball is the most talented player in the draft.

There is a lot to see before the draft though. As stated this time last year Zion wasn’t a lock for #1 and Reddish and Barrett were all considered equal talents. No one had Ja that high either blah blah blah.

Let me be quiet as Anthony has 34 10 and 6 right now
