The NBA Draft is just a few weeks away, and it's a big one for the Chicago Bulls. After another mediocre season, the pressure continues to mount for the front office in Chicago, and they don't have the support of their fan base right now. The Bulls need to have a good offseason, and it starts with the NBA Draft. Let's take a look at some mock drafts and see what the experts are thinking the Bulls will do come June 26th.
ClutchPoints mock draft
Our very own NBA expert Brett Siegel recently published his mock draft, and he has the Bulls drafting UConn basketball PG/SG Stephon Castle.
“It is hard to project where Stephon Castle will end up in the draft because, while he possesses top-five potential, he has left some teams with major question marks about his mindset due to the fact that he isn't accepting every workout offered to him,” Brett Siegel wrote. “Castle and his representation are wanting to go to a situation where he can be the lead guard. Unfortunately, there aren't many teams outside the Spurs and maybe the Wizards where Castle would be this type of player inside the top 10 of the NBA Draft. In the case of the Chicago Bulls, it looks likely that they will be using this selection to address their backcourt, hopefully finding a long-term playmaker next to Coby White. Of course, this pick will be very telling as to what the Bulls plan to do in the offseason, with DeMar DeRozan being a free agent and Zach LaVine's future still in question. While they could target a wing to possibly replace restricted free agent Patrick Williams, Castle would provide the Bulls with yet another impactful defensive guard like Alex Caruso. Perhaps drafting Castle allows the Bulls to move Caruso for a plethora of assets, such as more first-round draft picks. Castle is the best player on the board in this spot, and he has the potential to grow into a really strong two-way guard who can be a pillar of a franchise.”
CBS Sports mock draft
CBS Sports has the Bulls taking Kentucky basketball PG Rob Dillingham with the 11th overall in the draft. Dillingham averaged over 15 PPG last season, and he shot 44.4% from three. The Bulls need to get some players that can shoot the deep ball, so Dillingham would be a good fit in Chicago.
Bleacher Report mock draft
The first two mock drafts that we have looked at have the Bulls selecting someone that played college basketball in the states last season, but Bleacher Report is going in a different direction. They have Chicago taking Tidjane Salaun. Salaun is an athletic 6'9″ PF from Cholet, France. He is currently 18-years old.
ESPN mock draft
ESPN has the Bulls taking G League Ignite SF Ron Holland with the 11th overall pick in the NBA Draft. Holland was at one point ranked as the top player in his high school class, and he is currently 11th in ESPN's top 100.
Who knows what the Bulls will do with their lone NBA Draft pick, but we will find out in just a few weeks.
