2017 NBA Draft: 3 dream targets for Chicago Bulls at No. 16

If fantasy could become reality, the Chicago Bulls would watch these top prospects fall into their laps during the upcoming 2017 NBA Draft.

Based on what we saw during the 2016-17 season, the Chicago Bulls could use a fresh start. Inner turmoil and locker room squabbles seemed to characterize this past season in the Windy City. If that’s going to change, this roster may need to undergo a facelift of sorts.

That’ll start this offseason, as several pieces could be moved in the coming months. It’s unclear what the future holds for players like Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo. Then the Bulls will have to figure out what to do with pending free agents such as Nikola Mirotic and Michael Carter-Williams. Oh, and there’s also the 2017 NBA Draft.

Speaking of the draft, the Bulls currently own the No. 16 selection. It’s not the worst pick to have, but it certainly limits their ability to add a dynamic talent. While that may be the case, we shouldn’t limit our imaginations as we eagerly await June 22.

That’s why we’re here today–to discuss some “dream targets” for the Bulls during the draft. Chances are these players won’t make it anywhere near No. 16 overall, but that doesn’t mean we can’t speculate on how they’d fit as the future of this storied franchise.

With that in mind, let’s take a trip to a dream world where these future NBA stars are actually available for the Bulls to select during the 2017 NBA Draft.
