He says the consensus top picks of this draft are Cade and Evan Mobley.I disagree ,the consensus should be Cade and Green .

Interesting how Hollinger isn't sold on Cade Cunningham as a generational player, probably not one deserving a blockbuster draft trade for getting him.

We're #38. At this point, I'd look to try to move up for a player that drops. Try to get a late draft gem. While I think the draft is weak outside the top 4, it is a rather deep draft in terms of potential gems later in the draft.

Are they measuring from the top of his hair?


I'd gladly take Sharife Cooper if he drops or if we can move up for him. Not sure he'll drop. His ceiling is worth it.

Okay, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody would be a good look for the Magic.

The Bulls have to wait and see what second round prospects play themselves into the first round. I still think there's room for movement into the bottom of the first round.

RaiQuan Gray hamburger helpered his way out of first round contention. For his sake, I surely hope his 17% bodyfat was a typo.

Jericho Sims would be a nice defender/ rim runner provided we get a PG that can actually help him look good.

I'm pretty conservative with first-round picks but am all for taking swings with 2nd round picks. With that said, they say Luke Garza doesn't "fit" in the modern NBA. I say give me the NCAA National Player of the Year and let's see if he can continue to figure it out at the next level like he clearly was able to do at the college level.

24 points per game, 58% on 2's, 44% on 3's. Gets to the line.

Let's not overthink things.

You're right.

No more slow ass centers not named Nikola Jokic. They are wastes of roster spots.

Love Garza but not for us. He will basically be Brook Lopez without the defense in the NBA, plus he is projected to go late 2nd round.

I think Vrenz is my target at #38. His size and ball handling abilty is intriguing.

Can Lauri be used in a sign and trade with 38 to move up? If so how far up can the Bulls move?

You cannot do S+T until free agency starts, which is after the draft. Theoretically, Lauri could be S+T with whoever we draft at 38 for a signed first round draft selection, but you get into tampering issues if you pre-negotiate that sort of thing.
