The Chicago Bulls have plenty of concerns heading into the 2017 NBA Draft. Here is a look at five players that need to be on the team’s radar.

The Chicago Bulls finished the 2016-17 campaign with a 41-41 record. While there was nothing overly impressive about their season, they managed to nab the No. 8 spot in the conference playoff race.

Unfortunately, the playoffs proved to be an extended version of what Bulls fans saw during the regular season: A high dose of inconsistency.

After jumping out to a 2-0 lead against the Boston Celtics, the Bulls could not sustain their momentum once Rajon Rondo went down with a thumb injury. As a result, they were defeated in six games and left to ponder what might have been if their starting point guard had been healthy.

With a little over month before next month’s NBA Draft, the Bulls have a lot of concerns to address. For starters, the lack of production at the backup point guard position is a factor that was on display during Games 3-6.

In addition to that, lack of perimeter shooting and athleticism are legitimate issues as well. While no one knows who the Bulls have in mind to help improve their roster, here’s a look at five players that warrant consideration with the 16th overall pick.
