Bamba is intriguing. He has a 7'10 wingspan and great timing to boot when it comes to blocking shots. He hustles, challenges shooters as far as the 3 pt line. Another good sign, he got better as the season went out. Unfortunately he had a toe injury that kept him out most fo the last couple weeks of the season. His offense is limited, but you could argue that was as much to do with his coach as his abilities. Shaka Smart didn't put much effort into featuring Bamba on offense. Another positive to Bamba is his attitude and intelligence. He's incredibly smart. He works hard. He's going to put the work in to improve. he's already shown some improvements with his shot since the season ended.

At the very worst you're getting a guy who cna be the defensive anchor for your team for the next decade. Nothing wrong with that. Assuming he develops some offensive game he could be a really nice piece.

Why do shakes and Hatchetman hate the Bulls so much? Bamba should be gone by 7 at least, so that is a bullet likely dodged.

Would totally be a Gar move to trade up to #3 or #4 to take Bamba though.

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

We don't have any assets that could get us from 7 to top 4 other than Markennan or future first round picks.


But I think you are right in that Bamba will be gone by 7. He's going to impress in workouts and shoot up the boards.

Memphis is in a sketchy situation though, especially if Atlanta picks Bagley (assuming Ayton and Doncic go #1 and #2). It’s the wrong mindset to have but the Grizzlies want to win now (they refuse to trade Gasol and Conley + Parsons are owed $55 million for the next few years). After those 3 players are off the board, there’s really no clear cut guy to take at #4. You don’t think #7 and #22 gets the Bulls to #4? Or Portis/Holiday plus #7 and #22?

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

I think the best you can hope for is Porter falls and taking him as a lottery ticket.

Wouldn't Trae Young be a good fit for Hoiberg's "offense"?

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

If Memphis is trying to win now, how does trading away the #4 pick for two later draft picks help that goal? Adding Portis doesn't really do much for that goal either.

I don't agree that there isn't separation between 4 and 7. It depends who you like. I doubt Memphis is going to like all 5 guys available in that tier equally.

Last year it cost Philly the #3 pick and a high future first round pick to move from 3 to 1. It's going to cost something similar to move from 7 to 4. it will cost the #7 as well as next year's number 1 to make that move unless you want to part with Lauri. Both scenarios, either losing next year's #1 or Lauri, don't make any sense to move up to 4.

Besides, didn't you just say that there isn't any difference between the guys at 4 and the guys at 7? If that's the case then why do you want to move up? Just stay at 7 and draft whoever since there is no separation.

Seems like you are saying two contradictory things at once.

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

Grayson Allen the big surprise athletically. At the top of almost every test including vertical.

You are in Mizzou so assuming they have mizzou sports talk....whats the word on Porter and his back. Is this a dead ass with an excuse who will take 1 first rd check and fade away or is he the real deal?

i read a scouting report on this guy on one of those clickbait websites. The guy sounded absolutely worthless. Definitely a Bulls-type pick.

NBA Comp: Landry Fields
Strengths: Great size for a wing at 6’7 with a 7’1 wingspan, should allow him to guard multiple positions at the next level … Natural scorer, averaged 20 points per game … Respectable 3-point shooter (36%) … Scores in the paint, shot 72% at the rim last season and gets to the line (7.2 FTA, 73%) … Showed leadership as a veteran on the Broncos the past two years … Consistently improved each year in college … Can push the ball in transition and run the pick and roll … Willing passer … Solid rebounder (7.7 rpg) … Forces turnovers (1.5 stl/g) … Does a good job of staying out of foul trouble … Percentages did not go down as usage went up … Should have more energy in the NBA as a result of more rest and a lesser individual workload ... Mature prospect that has all of the tools of what teams are looking for …

Weaknesses: On the older side (turned 22 in April) … Will need to gain weight/strength, 200 pounds is a little light for someone of his size and age, which will make guarding 4’s and some 3’s difficult … Relatively streaky player, some games he will score 30 and others he will score 10 … AST:TO just above 1.0, will need to be much more careful with the ball at the next level … Lacking a mid-range game, shot 34% on 2-point jumpers … Room for improvement in both his three-point shooting and defense … Mostly a spot-up shooter for now, 78% of his threes were assisted … Needs to improve decision making both with and without the ball … not an explosive jumper, though he is still a solid athlete … Will have to re-adjust to not being the focus offensively … Will need to continue to improve his outside shooting to be considered a viable three-and-D player ...

Outlook: Hutchison has a nice skillset to go with a good build in the current NBA ... Many scouts are starting to view him as a potential early second round upperclassmen steal ... While he needs to improve at both three-point shooting and one-on-one defense to get significant minutes, he is someone that could be a solid contributor right from the start on a team’s second unit ... With further development, he eventually could get time as a primary ballhandler. High floor as a rotational wing ...

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Please no Porter.

His people and the Bulls set this up so he falls to #7.

Porter's camp appears to feel comfortable with his stock. The Sacramento Kings (No. 2), Memphis Grizzlies (No. 4) and Dallas Mavericks (No. 5) are interested in Porter, and it's now unlikely he falls out of the top seven in the draft, sources tell ESPN.com. The Chicago Bulls hold the seventh pick.
