Among all the college prospects the Chicago Bulls could go after in the 2019 NBA Draft, who would be the best to get to know more about?

The 2019 NBA Draft will soon take hold as the lottery positioning for teams like the Chicago Bulls becomes more and more important. The Chicago Bulls need to have a solid off-season in terms of the trade market, free agency, and NBA Draft activity. If this franchise is to keep moving in the right direction, each off-season move will be critical.

The future success for the Chicago Bulls could also be decided by what happens in the 2019 NBA Draft. With numerous selections needed to boost the depth in a very thin rotation and a bench largely devoid of talent at the moment, this coming NBA Draft is pivotal more so in the Windy City than with most other franchises.

However, there are some events set to transpire before the NBA Draft begins that can change what the Chicago Bulls were planning to do in the first place. Of those in the world of college hoops, the NCAA Tournament and NBA Draft Combine should be the most impactful until June arrives.

In this year’s NCAA Tournament, the Chicago Bulls should be watching for teams like the Duke Blue Devils, North Carolina Tar Heels, and Kentucky Wildcats, that have numerous projected first round selections in store. The Bulls can also dig a bit deeper to find some depth players that can add value to the lineup immediately.

Here’s a deeper dive into the five prospects worth watching for the Chicago Bulls that could go in the 2019 NBA Draft that are competing in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
