If they move up to 8 or so they could get a guard with star - Toonces May 11, 2026, 18:49:26 There are going to be really good options at 15. I really like Chris Cenec, C from Houston. - Warrin'_Illini May 12, 2026, 9:59:30 In the handful of Houston games I watched I never noticed him at all* - bjl63 May 12, 2026, 14:19:44 Just don’t let him shoot 10-12 footers from the baseline* - DocWalk20 May 12, 2026, 12:49:21 That’s gotta be costly, Bulls can’t really be in the business of shipping future 1sts* - Carl Spackler May 11, 2026, 19:07:27 I would definitely not trade another first to do it, though. You could build a package around - Toonces May 11, 2026, 20:21:03 Can you though? That doesn't seem very attractive to the other team in the equation. - Carl Spackler May 11, 2026, 21:03:33 Depends on the team. However, I’ve done some research and I think we can get Cam Carr @ 15. Sold.* - Toonces May 11, 2026, 21:43:08 They could very well still suck for a while and the lottery rules are changing. - OB25 May 11, 2026, 20:59:43 They could have had a pick up there if they’d done the trade with NO instead of drafting Essengue - OB25 May 11, 2026, 19:13:20 What trade was this?* - Carl Spackler May 11, 2026, 19:27:19 So am I seeing move back from 12 to 24 last year and get an unprotected first this year? - Carl Spackler May 11, 2026, 19:37:06 Yeah basically the deal the Hawks got one pick later. - OB25 May 11, 2026, 19:46:12 Wagler measured in at 6’5” with pretty short wingspan and standing reach numbers - OB25 May 11, 2026, 16:34:48 Apparently the same measurements as Kon Knueppel - DocWalk20 May 11, 2026, 17:36:25 He's only 19, growth plates could still be open. - Warrin'_Illini May 11, 2026, 16:50:44 I guess I can just search for his wingspan and reach numbers. Tanks for nuttin' - Chuck Woodaby May 11, 2026, 16:47:31 Dots - OB25 May 11, 2026, 16:51:49 Are there any official measurements on Cam Boozer?* - Warrin'_Illini May 11, 2026, 16:56:14 Nevermind. 6' 8 -1/4", 252 lbs..

I thought ISU was the second best team in the country that year - DT May 12, 2026, 13:49:15 In Fizer's defense, that draft was awful* - bjl63 May 11, 2026, 15:27:02 Also true. The Pat Williams draft was messed up by Covid as well. - Warrin'_Illini May 11, 2026, 15:30:39 woof* - OWWDig May 11, 2026, 14:39:28 Ca-leb Wil-son clap clap clapclapclap. - Warrin'_Illini May 11, 2026, 8:43:21 It seems like Dybantsa and Peterson are locked in the top 2, just need Memphis to take Boozer* - shua May 11, 2026, 9:18:39 Boozer seems like a landmine to me. I don't see an NBA game with him* - uofi1998 May 11, 2026, 12:10:09 He’ll be a good NBA player, the ceiling is the question. Ultimately… - OB25 May 11, 2026, 14:37:19 Don't rain on my parade big guy. Boozehound will be a less-headcase-y Paolo Banchero!* - Warrin'_Illini May 11, 2026, 14:19:19 For sure. And even then if things don't go our way we'll get a rock solid 20-10 guy. - Warrin'_Illini May 11, 2026, 9:28:44 Besides not WOW'ing people with freakish athleticism and size, I don't really get the Boozer hate. - illinilosch May 11, 2026, 9:35:30 My only issue with him is how high is the upside? - bjl63 May 11, 2026, 10:52:58 Yeah, he's got some Jokic to his game. Good passer and playmaker too.* - Warrin'_Illini May 11, 2026, 9:54:52 The Knicks were 25/44 from three today.
