Chicago Bulls: 3 biggest questions heading into 2018 NBA Draft
The Chicago Bulls have multiple needs to address following a 27-55 season. Here’s a look at the three biggest questions heading into this year’s NBA Draft.
The Chicago Bulls finished the 2017-18 campaign with a 27-55 mark, which tied them with the Sacramento Kings for the sixth-worst record in the NBA. If not for an unlikely seven-game winning streak that helped them post a 10-6 mark during the month of December, their win total would have probably been in the low 20s.
Be that as it may, the Bulls have two first round selections in the 2018 NBA Draft at their disposal as they approach Year 2 of the team’s rebuild. It will be very important they get these two picks right in order to avoid a similar season to the one we just witnessed.
At this point in time, no one knows which the direction they will go with either of the picks at No. 7 and No. 22. Considering the fact they lack a true rim protector, they could opt to go with a big man.
Additionally, vice president of basketball operations John Paxson mentioned that the team had a glaring need at a certain spot on the floor.
"“I think we need to look at the wing position,” Paxson told NBC Sports Chicago. “That would be an ideal spot. Size and length at the wing as a shooting component, a defensive component, would be something that, if you’re looking at an area we would like to improve, that would be it.”"
Keeping those comments in mind, the Bulls may be leaning towards a 3-and-D player as well. With the all-important date of June 21 coming up, here are the three biggest questions for the Bulls heading into the 2018 NBA Draft.
