After taking Mikal Bridges out of Villanova early in the first round, the Chicago Bulls pick again. Thanks to the trade for Nikola Mirotic, the young Bulls can add another piece. Lauri Markkanen seems destined to play a lot at the 4, so going for a center here is a nice fit. In Daniel Gafford, they  can invest in a bouncy rim-runner who can block shots in his sleep. He’s not very polished, but given he’s just a freshman there’s plenty of room to grow. The Bulls could trot out a core of Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, Bridges, Markkanen and Gafford. Not bad.. C. Arkansas. Daniel Gafford. 21. player. 24
