When’s the last time the bulls have done this well with a pick? Probably Lauri unless I’m forgetting someone else
Ayo was a 2nd rounder and was good for them
Yeah I was surprised the Bulls couldn’t even get a first when trading him away
Maybe Leonard Miller can develop into something, not sure on Dillingham
Because he was an expiring, he’s due a payday and i don’t think Bulls wanted to pay him
Though Lauri was developed after being traded. He was a massive disappointment after his second season due to shitty coaches.
Boylen is a bball terrorist.
I was thinking pure talent wise but that’s fair
Markkanen and Coby White were the two names that immediately came to mind for me
Butler or Taj
Our annual tradition of a Bull playing very well in meaningless March games.
Jokes aside I’m obviously excited about Matas and happy that despite the tank he’s getting plenty of minutes to keep developing. Giddey seems to be a great piece to have alongside him too. If we can pair both with a good scoring guard and a defensive big man we could have ourselves a team.
Matas is genuinely great. Outside of Castle, he’s the best player out of the 2024 draft class. And for 11th overall, you really can’t complain with his performance. It’s just a shame that he’s on this team this season.
i’m enjoying my spot on Buzelis island and i’ll gladly buy up more real estate from others
he’s so young and fun
Top 3 player in that draft imo.
Man fried us
Arguably would go second on a redraft. Was watching the draft and I could not believe in real time Detroit, Charlotte, San Antonio (who traded the pick), Minnesota, and Utah didn’t take him. Literally after each of the picks I was going, “well, he’s probably going to be picked here… “
For sure top 3. Castle. Sarr. Buzelis.
Dude looks like Eli Manning but taller and more athletic
I’m convinced, give him the MVP and give the Warriors the #1 overall pick
Yeah, the Bulls always have a player or two who starts producing when the season inevitably turns to Garbage Time.
Remember when Coby White had that insane run last season? I remember. I remember all too well…
