The Chicago Bulls had a massively disappointing 2015-16 season. Which three players in this year’s draft could help turn it around?

The Chicago Bulls could be experiencing a lot of turnover on the roster this offseason. Or they could experience almost none. Thanks to trade rumors and player options, it’s really hard to tell exactly what the Bulls are going to need on draft night.

Will they need a center because Pau Gasol could opt out of his final year with Chicago? Will they need a shooting guard resulting from a potential Jimmy Butler trade?

We don’t know right now, so predicting their draft targets can be quite challenging. But here at HoopsHabit we’re always up for a challenge.

We’re going to choose some draft targets who, more likely than not, will have a place on the Bulls either immediately or shortly down the line. For example, whether Pau Gasol re-signs or not, he’ll likely be retiring shortly after.

That means Chicago could be in line for a center if the right one is available. And with Jimmy Butler, even if he isn’t traded, the Bulls could use a solid backup shooting guard since the guy currently in that role is Justin Holiday.

There are a lot of players in the draft that could play big roles on the Bulls either this season or down the line. Here are three great options they should consider if they’re available at No. 14.
