BULLS DRAFT. No Derik Queen or Ace Bailey, please

otherwise I'm cool with whomever, though hard to see any of them being anything more than a role player. This class kinda stinks

A no 3, no D, undersized center sounds like a bust waiting to happen. So I fully expect Queen to be a Bull and he fits in terms of being a perfect guy for a middling organization to stay middling. Same with Bailey

or am I making that up?

maybe I'm just thinking of other players that were taken in the 2nd round that have been all stars and wondering (not really) why the Bulls always prefer to sell theirs rather than try and find guys with value.

If I knew they were going to trade Coby White and Vucevic and truly go all in on restarting everything with Buzelis/Giddey/Esengue, I’d be fine with that. But as you said, there once again doesn’t seem to be any sensible timeline being used to inform their decisions. They are once again playing everything down the middle and it just doesn’t work.

AKME are pretty much garbage but at least they're trying to get players who fit where the NBA is going. Long, rangy, versatile athletes. The Finals were replete with those kinds of players.

My only concern is shooting. However when you're drafting in the teens you're going to be taking some chances.

Pre-Draft Analysis
Strengths: Essengue is a rangy, versatile power forward who filled up the box score on both ends of the floor playing at a very high level of competition in the EuroCup and German BBL. Despite being the second-youngest player in this draft, he can get to the free throw line and his passing and defensive playmaking give him considerable upside to grow into.

Weaknesses: His narrow frame might make it difficult to operate inside the paint in the NBA. And his inconsistency from the perimeter might prevent his opportunistic scoring from translating to the league.

The verdict: Essengue scored steadily around the rim for Ulm, made plays off the ball, attacked the rim with long strides and drew fouls at an exceptional rate despite his youth and lack of strength. He has shown real promise with his feel for the game and ability to cover ground defensively. He still has some areas to improve to solidify his role in the NBA. However, he was the best player on the floor in quite a few games this season, which is rare for someone his age. -- Jonathan Givony

It’s for the Bulls to draft both KJ and Will Riley and it’s +900. Considering the Bulls don’t even have 2 first round picks and the odds of them picking both of these guys would be slim to none even if they did, those odds are missing at least one 0 at the end. Just trying to see if they can bait a few Illini fan suckers, I suppose.

in his defense, aside from Harper, the team was shit, but he didn't exactly lift them up when Harper was out either ( I think I saw they were 1-6 w/o Harper.) There is something to be said about having 2 top 5 talents and not even finishing .500.

Of course we had to pay them the game Harper got back....

In college basketball it seems like old > talented. I mean we had 2 young first rounders too*

I'm kinda hoping the Dookie center Maluach (sp?) falls to 12 as he'd be a perfect fit in the middle for the Bulls. But that's highly doubtful too

KJ would be fun to watch alongside Ayo, but do the Bulls really need another guard?

Might as well play it safe and take Asa Newell. Looks like a very solid low post player with upside.

But please, don't take Queen.

That's a good point. AKME rarely make moves but I think they may make a trade this offseason.

Coby and Ayo are their best assets besides Matas (who they won't trade) and in their last year of their contracts. Memphis just got a haul of picks for Desmond Bane, maybe they can get something similar for Coby or both of them? Lonzo could also be traded.

I have wanted the Duke big man but it doesn't seem like there's any way he's falling to 12. If the Bulls trade a guard or two I could see them going after KJ. Would be fun if they had him and Ayo, and AKME knows we locals would like that (and they've given us plenty of reason NOT to like them).

I guess one thing going against my plan is KJ and Giddey together would get cooked a lot on defense (especially with a defense anchored by rim-presenting Vucivic). The Bulls could throw out some nasty all-white lineups, which would be super fun IMO. We shall see I suppose.

Coach Thorpe cites an incredible, repeatable shot. Ridiculous wingspan. Desire. Handle. And so on.

Can't wait to see which team goes for him. I know Dylan Harper is the consensus No. 2 and a perfectly fine player, but I just don't see it.
