11) Chicago Bulls-Cody Williams

Forward Cody Williams has seen his name climb the draft boards, with Bleacher Report having gone in the top 5 in their latest mock draft. That would definitely make for a more interesting draft night since it would result in another top prospect falling. However, we have him going 11th overall for the Chicago Bulls, who can use him.

The Bulls have a talented but flawed roster that features an injured and likely overpaid all-star in Zach LaVine and an aging star in DeMar DeRozan, who can leave in free agency.They also have Nikola Vucevic, who hasn't lived up to the price they gave up to acquire him from the Orlando Magic, and Lonzo Ball, who hasn't played in an NBA game in two and a half years. All that is to say is that they could use a young infusion of talent and Williams could provide that.

On offense, his ability to attack the rim off the dribble in both the half-court and in transition, as well as his potential as a passer, make him an intriguing player, though his ceiling on that end of the floor hinges on his 3-point shooting.Defensively, he looks like the part of a wing stopper, with his agility allowing him to defend guards, while his length and size should help him guard bigger wings as he gets stronger. The tools are there for Williams to be a terrific player, possibly for the Bulls.
