With the seventh overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls picked up the former North Carolina Tar Heels 6-foot-5 and 185 pound point guard Coby White. That was the third consecutive year where the Bulls picked seventh overall in the NBA Draft Lottery. It seemed like a very wise pick at the time considering that the Bulls got pretty unlucky in the draft lottery. They had the fourth best odds to win the Zion Williamson sweepstakes and get the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft.
However, the Bulls did fill a positional need that the front office mentioned it would prioritize at the outset of the offseason and land what looked to be one of the best players left on the board.
