With the way things are shaking out at the outset of the 2019-20 regular season for the Chicago Bulls, it looks as if another draft lottery pick could be in the near future. The Bulls had to be hoping to make a lift in the Eastern Conference standings to the point where they could contend for a playoff spot. But a 3-7 record after the first 10 games of the regular season proves that this team isn’t near ready to contend for the playoffs.

Paying close attention to what transpires at the college level is important to have a clear picture for what lies ahead for this franchise.
