Still to this day, fans of the Chicago Bulls have to look back on the 2014 NBA Draft and be pretty disappointed as to what they came away with and what they traded. The Bulls were involved in three picks in the first round of the 2014 draft, and the only one they really kept was the former Creighton Blue Jays wing Doug McDermott.
Coming out of the Creighton basketball program, McDermott was a pretty difficult prospect to discern for the NBA. He had an awesome shot are surely was successful in facilitating the offense at Creighton. But that never quite translated to the NBA in the way that GarPax likely imagined back in the 2014 draft.
However, the two players the Bulls traded away from the 2014 draft are both doing better than McDermott at the moment. The next player the Bulls had drafted before he was traded is the current Portland Trail Blazers big man Jusuf Nurkic. Nurkic could be a starting quality center/power forward for the Bulls right now.
And the other pick the Bulls traded away wound up being a quality role player at guard with Gary Harris (currently with the Nuggets). Either of those two would be tremendous for the Bulls to have right now instead of having sent McDermott down the journey he went to landing where he is now, with the Pacers.
