Number four, Caleb Wilson going to the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n

All right, so this one, you know, not a surprise.<\/p>\n

The best of the remaining prospects.<\/p>\n

Caleb Wilson, elite athlete.<\/p>\n

They need a big All of that makes sense.<\/p>\n

What I’m intrigued by is this week, the Bulls, according to my league sources, held a big group workout with four potential lottery picks, guards Keaton Wagler and Kingston Flemings, and then Nate Ament and Marez Johnson.<\/p>\n

So four guys that could be taken in the lottery all worked out against each other.<\/p>\n

Is this the Bulls thinking about pick 15?<\/p>\n

Is this, like, whoever’s available there?<\/p>\n

Are they trying to trade up from 15 to get another top 10 pick, or are they looking at their options at four?<\/p>\n

Are they thinking about, “Do we actually want Caleb Wilson?”<\/p>\n

that’s, those are the conversations I’m hap- having with people around the league right now, and I’m curious for you guys watching this mock draft or listening to it, what do you think Chicago’s objectives are here?<\/p>\n

Because there’s plenty of people who think Caleb Wilson, with his elite athleticism, with the flashes we’ve seen him have against Duke and against Kansas as a shooter, people say, “Oh, Wilson could end up the best player in this draft class,” right?<\/p>\n

That’s what, that’s always what you hear.<\/p>\n

But then there’s the skeptics who say, “Well, he’s actually not a, an anchor.<\/p>\n

He’s actually more of just one of the guys defensively.<\/p>\n

He’s never really been able to shoot.”<\/p>\n

So there’s skeptics.<\/p>\n

What side are the Bulls on?<\/p>\n

And their workouts indicate they’re, they’re at least looking at some guys in that six to twelve-ish range.<\/p>\n

Is that to move up, or is it to move down, or is it to reach at number four?<\/p>\n

I, I, I look forward to seeing how that all plays out.<\/p>\n
