team. 24. . . . Chicago Bulls.

Picks: 4, 44

Needs: Small Forward

Fresh off adding former Oklahoma City head coach Billy Donovan, the Chicago Bulls head into this year’s draft with plenty of optimism.

Jumping up the draft board to pick fourth, the Bulls will look to add to a young core ready to improve following a meager 22 wins last season. With solid players such as Zach LaVine, Lauri Markkanen, and Coby White already in the fold, the Bulls are in desperate need of a wing to improve their perimeter shooting and defense — and have plenty of excellent options in this year’s draft class.

With top prospects such as Issac Okoro and Obi Toppin expected to still be on the board, new Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Artūras Karnišovas will have his pick of wings with international prospects Deni Avdija and Killian Hayes also drawing links.

Regardless, Karnišovas is in an excellent position to build the Bulls into a contender and add a quality piece to send them back into contention in the near future.
