Yeah Vuc looks tired. They should've gave him another couple days.

3rd PIck - Suggs or Green
13th Pick - Moody or Springer
34th Pick - Keyontae Johnson

Yeah if that happens AND those are Orlando’s picks I’ll have zero complaints whatsoever.

Thats why I should be coach/GM.

[nymets1]

Perhaps we should get Max Abmas/ Kevin Obanor out of Oral Roberts. I think we can get them as undrafted free agents. Obanor is giving me Aaron Gordon vibes. Abmas could be an NBA star and same with Obanor( who could turn into Aaron Gordon).

[DiplomaticMagic]

The Bulls are looking like the Magic right now

add that to Fultz, Anthony and RJ, and we can field a team of guards.

I'm still a homer and like Herb Jones with out 2nd. SF with great defense and ball handling, very athletic, POY and DPOY in the SEC.

Tough night for Moody but they got the win.

[RookieStar]

Tough night for Moody but they got the win.

Yeah.. Moody is playing himself out of the top-10 and right into our (hopeful range) with the CHI pick lol

[basketballRob]

Moody is 18 still, so I'll let him slide on a bad game.

Yeah, unfortunately, the first two are a wash since it came against two other major tanking teams (Minny/Det).

If the Pelicans and Thunder win, they'll pass the Bulls. The Cavs are closing on them.

Worst I’d want the Bulls doing is 8th worst, which gives them a 23.5% at a top 4 pick.

If they end up being the 7th worst their odds at a top 4 pick jump to 31.9%.

Relevant since the Chicago pick is top 4 protected.

This. I want that pick to convey. I've heard nothing about compensation should it not. Anywhere in the 10-to-15 range is fine with me.

We get it the following year without protections, but that would push back our next pick a year.

With a good chance the bulls get better next and this good draft class, I want this pick to convey this year.

Not necessarily. Remember Min, Det, and Orlando are in the top 4 for the number 1 spot and therefore have an even shot for it. So I don't care if Minny or Det all keep losing games. What a Rockets and Wizards win does however is increase the chances that the bulls pick is a higher pick. So this is a good night.

What is the source for this? I haven't been able to find one. I think it's a very real possibility the Bulls land in the top 4 this year.

And no telling if the bulls may get better and this is the best draft class in years.

I’d prefer the Bulls pick to convert this year. I expect them with a year of experience together and their younger players getting a year older for them to do better and make the playoffs. They’ll also hace some flexibility to make a decent signing next year and I expect them to SnT Markannen.

Would rather have a pick from 8-12 in this deep draft then take the risk on them making the playoffs and it becoming a pick btwn 15-18 in a draft that doesnt seem as good as this one.

[Rainwater]

Guys now that we have a mid lotto pick or hopefully a 6-10 pick( aside from our first oick of Cade )if Vuc does us a solid and implode CHI (lol) we should watch more games. We have moody, butler duarte barnes and others to keep track of.

We have to root for Sacramento, New Orleans, Toronto, and that group to pass them. Chicago does have a brutal schedule.

I'll take the chances. I am all in for two top 5 picks.

Sorry, I completely agree. I meant to say there is a chance for them to get better next year and worsen the value of the pick. Additionally, this is an incredibly good draft class.

I read it on the Bulls board. That would also push our 2023 pick from them back 1 year. I should've requested to get the source, but I didn't.
