It’s been a rough 36 hours for Chicago Bulls fans everywhere, as I’m sure several of us are well on our way through the seven stages of grief. No, the Bulls haven’t moved up to draft in the top four this year. Not only that, they won’t be drafting at all for that matter. After trading away their first-round pick for Nikola Vucevic, their second-rounder for Otto Porter Jr., and having Denver’s second-rounder confiscated as punishment for Lonzo Ball, Chicago is out of luck here.
Despite the sour taste the draft lottery has left in our mouths, there may actually be a silver lining here.
