So I haven't looked at the prospects at all this year. Who do you guys like at 38? Any raw wings with great tools (athleticism, length...you know, the kind of guys we need next to Vuc) potentially available here?

Athletic wings who might fit your criteria:

-Aaron Henry
-Terrance Shannon
-Brandon Boston Jr.

Guys like Quentin Grimes, Josh Christopher might work, but they're both a little shorter than the guys above. And Greg Brown is interesting, but more of a 3/4 (like Pat).

There's also Bleijenbergh - but I question the fit with our current roster (plus the guy's almost 7 feet tall but only weighs 170 lbs...)

I'm pounding the table for Jason Preston.

Thanks, appreciate the help. I'll take a look at the guys you mentioned.

I wouldn't mind throwing a second at this guy

Very low competition but very good athleticism and numbers are great. I think he could contribute in a rotation off the bench.

Livin' for Livers! Legit 2-way player with sweet 3pt shot and finishing ability. I feel like he would have been an late teen pick if he didn't get a stress fracture. Reminds me of when Levert fell.

Measured out well at the combine and still my first choice at 38.

This draft will be interesting for us. I think there is a chance we will grab a late 1st or maybe even a mid 1st with a Lauri trade.

Can the Bulls do a sign and trade before the draft?

No, not officially. I was thinking more along the lines of Team A wants Lauri, Lauri wants Team A, Team A drafts the players the Bulls want, doesn't sign him for a minute and wink wink nudge nudge he comes to the Bulls. :lol:

Except that's a blatant violation of the CBA's tampering rules, since Team A isn't allowed to talk to Lauri until 3 days after the draft.

If he's still available at 38, count me in on the Isaiah Todd train.

Even if AKME were stupid enough to make this sort of attempt at blatantly circumventing the CBA, nobody is giving us a 1st for Lauri.

The entire planet knew that Lauri was available for a 1st at the trade deadline, and not one team was interested. I see absolutely no reason why that will change now.

If we manage to get 3rd pick who do you draft?
