Unfortunately for Chicago Bulls fans that rode on a tank through an up-and-down, 82-game season this year, the Bulls will not be involved in the 2017 NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday night.
The Bulls, who were eliminated from the first round as the Eastern Conference’s No. 8 seed by the top-seeded Boston Celtics, already know their place in the 2017 NBA Draft next month.
As of now, the Bulls will select 16th overall in the draft, unless some drastic changes come in the form of a trade involving say, Jimmy Butler?
We’ll get into that a little bit later, but for now, here’s an explanation of what you’ll see on Tuesday night with the 14 participating teams and how the draft lottery works.
