The Chicago Bulls had a nice 2018 NBA Draft despite not having a second-round pick. Here are 3 players from the second round that could’ve helped the Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls had a successful 2018 NBA Draft. They selected Wendell Carter Jr. at no. 7 and Chandler Hutchison at no. 22. Both of those players should make a positive impact immediately. However, if the Bulls had a second-round pick, draft night could’ve been even better.

The Summer League never fails to shed light on some second-round draft picks that will end up having a successful NBA career. It’s a great time for players that may have been overlooked to show their stuff against other NBA draftees.

I’m not sure what it would’ve taken for the Bulls to get into the early or middle of the second round. Maybe a couple future second-round picks would’ve gotten it done? That’s not my point, though. I’m not here to say whether the Bulls would have been better suited giving up future assets for current ones. I’m here to tell you about three specific players that could’ve helped the Bulls in a major way had they had a second-round pick.

With that being said, here are three players that (if the Bulls had a second-round pick) could’ve helped speed up the rebuild.
