Number four, Caleb Wilson going to the Chicago Bulls.
All right, so this one, you know, not a surprise.
The best of the remaining prospects.
Caleb Wilson, elite athlete.
They need a big All of that makes sense.
What I'm intrigued by is this week, the Bulls, according to my league sources, held a big group workout with four potential lottery picks, guards Keaton Wagler and Kingston Flemings, and then Nate Ament and Marez Johnson.
So four guys that could be taken in the lottery all worked out against each other.
Is this the Bulls thinking about pick 15?
Is this, like, whoever's available there?
Are they trying to trade up from 15 to get another top 10 pick, or are they looking at their options at four?
Are they thinking about, "Do we actually want Caleb Wilson?"
that's, those are the conversations I'm hap- having with people around the league right now, and I'm curious for you guys watching this mock draft or listening to it, what do you think Chicago's objectives are here?
Because there's plenty of people who think Caleb Wilson, with his elite athleticism, with the flashes we've seen him have against Duke and against Kansas as a shooter, people say, "Oh, Wilson could end up the best player in this draft class," right?
That's what, that's always what you hear.
But then there's the skeptics who say, "Well, he's actually not a, an anchor.
He's actually more of just one of the guys defensively.
He's never really been able to shoot."
So there's skeptics.
What side are the Bulls on?
And their workouts indicate they're, they're at least looking at some guys in that six to twelve-ish range.
Is that to move up, or is it to move down, or is it to reach at number four?
I, I, I look forward to seeing how that all plays out.
