Draft the best player available. Don’t look at the position or consider the fit.
Edwards or Wiseman would be the top 2 in my book right now.
I don’t want Ball though.

Feels like we were overdue for a sketchy draft after the past 2-3 classes. Of course with the Bulls luck, this would be the year they suck and actually win the lottery.

I'd be happy with either Wiseman or Edwards, they don't seem like can't miss prospects, but they would be good building blocks nonetheless. Besides those two, I really don't see anyone all that compelling if I'm being honest, and you're right, the last few draft classes has been very strong.
Why so serious?

Wiseman would be awesome, and there's Dante that still have to be cleared to play at Oregon. They're definitely some interesting big man prospects in 2020.

I know you take BPA, but I am hoping the BPA at the Bulls pick is a Wing or true PG

Edwards or trade the pick. Dont care for what. I dont want bigman because NBA game is obsolete for most of them. If you aint Embiid or Jokic you can forget it about building around big. And LaMelo in Bulls uniform would just put end of my NBA following for a while.

for where the Bulls are likely picking, Okoro is a no brainer

Wiseman's not gonna be that good. Way overhyped.
Edwards or Cole would be great. Hard to get excited about too much else. Okoro I agree would give us a great wing.

Re: 2020 NBA Draft Thread: Bulls pick #7 (probably)
Wiseman is not a proven player. Also his team belongs to weaker conference and he struggled against Oregon which is the first notable team Memphis faced.
If we get the 1st or 2nd pick in this draft we must pick either Anthony Edwards or Cole Anthony. Edwards is shining with his pull-up 3 at the Maui invitational games so at this point he is the top player on my board.
Cole Anthony's passing and defense is better than expected but he struggles finishing at the rim which leads to poor 2pt%. Fortunately his outside shooting is quite good.
I know there are some hypes about Lamelo but from what I've seen those NBL defenders are too slow. I like Lamelo's dribble penetration ability but I'm not sure his high and loose handle can translate to the NBA level. And I don't like his weird shooting form. It takes a lot of times to fix if he ever can.

Im surprised to hear you say that about wiseman. I was shocked at how talented he is when I watched Memphis. Every bit the physical talent of ayton Ruthmore defensive aptitude. Does not have the remarkable offensive touch ayton does however.
What don’t you like about his game? We’re seeing this differently.

Watching those lonzo ball highlights reminds me how boring the bulls have become. Boring lifeless and bad.
Honestly this draft might get a bad rap, but there are four players that would immediately upgrade our talent level.

I like Okongwu as much as Wiseman, both are late lotto types for me in this class

For me, I just feel like there's not much to his game outside of being a physical specimen. He can *kinda* shoot a little bit from mid-range, don't trust any big time range at this point though. Don't think he has a good IQ/feel as far as passing, shot selection, etc. And defensively he's a bit undisciplined and not very switchable.
That's my take. Will physically dominate college, and he's certainly going to do some things at a high level in the NBA, but I just feel like positionally/skill-set wise, he doesn't provide the same value as these guard/wing types.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Okongwu turn out better.

Okoro or Avdija vs a Mannion/Hayes/Maledon/Maxey in your likely range is an interesting question, depends on how much faith you have in Coby being an elite creator (I have very little)
Maledon and Maxey aren't that type either, more like versatile 2-way Guards, and Mannion and Hayes are more traditional with passing chops but less margin for error if they don't cut it
Kinda the debate in the 4-10 range for a lot of teams

Wiseman has shown me things from the little I've seen. I've liked how he's attacked the glass and I like his IQ on the defensive end.

I know that's its way early, but what's everyone's draft board looking like? Who is #1 right now?
