Chicago Bulls: What if they drafted perfectly through the 2010s

Perfect Chicago Bulls NBA Drafts: 2018 Draft
The 2017-2018 season was an ugly one for the Bulls. It was clear they were not the same team without Butler on the roster. Their offensive rank dropped to 28th and their defensive rank fell to 24th.
This was a very young roster and no one on the team was used to being forced to play a leading role. As a result of this, Nikola Mirotic was the teams leading scorer this season with 16.8 points per game.
The Bulls finished with a record of 27-55 which left them far from the playoffs but landed them a rather high lottery pick.
Collin Sexton
Originally with the 5th pick, the Bulls selected Wendell Carter Jr.
However, with the Bulls, he never really developed into the player that he was expected to be.
Whether that being a result of the lack of coaching, leadership, or direction of the team, things did not work out for him in Chicago and he was traded from the team after only two full seasons.
In the redraft, the Bulls select Collin Sexton.
Sexton is a very talented young player with a high defensive motor and a walking bucket. He has not really got to show his defensive talents as he has played on awful defensive Cleveland Cavalier teams.
On this revamped Chicago Bulls roster, he would fit right in on defense and would be a great scoring option alongside Jimmy Butler.
Landry Shamet
With the 22nd pick, the Bulls selected Chandler Hutchinson. However, Landry Shamet was selected only four picks later by the Philadelphia 76ers.
Shamet is a player that can fit in on any NBA roster. He is a solid defender but his true value comes on the offensive end. So far in his young career, Shamet has already proven himself as a sharpshooter.
This is something that you can never have too much of in the 3-point era the league is currently in.
