In Zach LaVine, they have one of the most prolific scorers in the league. Their trade for Otto Porter leaves them stacked in the forward position as well.

However, point guard is where their main issue lies. Kris Dunn has flattered to deceive and the Bulls will be keen to look at other options in the draft.

With the 7th overall pick, they are likely to target one of Darius Garland, Coby White and Jarrett Culver. All three of them are prolific scorers in their own right and would help take a major load off of LaVine.

Reports suggest the Bulls are seriously looking at White, who averaged 16 points and 4 assists per game last season for North Carolina.

If the Bulls do land one of the three aforementioned names, they could then use the 38th pick to target a center.

The Bulls were among the worst rebounding teams in the league last season and might look to address that in the draft. Realistic targets would include UCF’s Tacko Fall and UCLA’s Moses Brown.
