Mohamed Bamba – Chicago Bulls

Mohamed Bamba’s unicorn potential, especially as a defensive anchor, makes him a good fit for most teams. With the Chicago Bulls, he could provide defensive stability for a promising young core. Some might worry about the fit with Lauri Markkanen, but the Bulls aren’t becoming a playoff team with Markkanen at center anyways. The Bulls need more of a defensive identity.

Markkanen and Zach LaVine would provide the offensive spark, while Bamba held down the paint. Bamba also could be a great lob target for Kris Dunn and the Bulls other point guards. He’s not there as a shooter yet, but his mechanics are encouraging as he gets nice rotation on the ball. With Robin Lopez off the books in 2019, Bamba has a role to grow into and maintain. Another good spot for him could be the Phoenix Suns.
