Despite missing out on Flagg, the Bulls have promising options in the 2025 draft to improve their roster.
Chicago: The Bulls are in a tricky spot right now. They’re sitting at 18-21, just like last season. With the trade deadline coming up, it feels like the front office is a bit stuck.
They need to keep their first-round pick away from the Spurs, and they’re barely hanging on to that chance. If they can drop to the eighth-worst record, they might have a shot at some top talent in the 2025 draft.
Teams like Washington and Toronto are tanking on purpose, while the Bulls are just kind of mediocre. If they can get to No. 8, they’ll have a decent chance at a top-four pick.
Even if they can’t snag a superstar like Flagg, there are still solid players available. For instance, Kon Knueppel from Duke is a great shooter and could really help the Bulls.
Then there’s Khaman Maluach, also from Duke. He’s a big guy who could be a game-changer in the paint. And let’s not forget Liam McNeeley from UConn, who’s a tough player and a good shooter.
So, even if the Bulls miss out on Flagg, they’ve got options to make their team better in the draft.
