Options for the Bulls at No. 38
Off the top, I should mention that the Chicago Bulls seemingly made no wrong moves by either picking White at No. 7 or the former Arkansas Razorbacks rim-running center Gafford at No. 38.
But I should also note here that new second round picks and undrafted free agents will emerge in the NBA spotlight all throughout the season with spotty performances. It’s hard to make a decisive choice in this spot.
Here’s let’s take a look through the three good options that John Paxson and Gar Forman of the Bulls had in this redraft at No. 38 overall.
Daniel Gafford, Center
The original pick of the Bulls was Gafford at 38. He was a solid selection that is getting a lot more playing time of late. Thanks to a rash of injuries to the wing and frontcourt positions for the Bulls of late, Gafford got to play in nine game. And while his numbers per game don’t stick out much, his 16.4 player efficiency rating and 64.0 percent field goal percentage both look very good.
Eric Paschall, Forward
The Bulls and the Warriors actually get to meet in a battle of two teams well out of playoff position in their respective conferences on Nov. 27. But one of the best players for the Warriors so far this season is the former Villanova Wildcats forward Eric Paschall. The Warriors got a steal for him at No. 41 in the second round.
Terence Davis, Shooting Guard
There’s not a huge need for the Bulls to add a shooting guard at the moment. But if the former undrafted Ole Miss Rebels two-guard Terence Davis was available right now to add depth at that spot for the Bulls, it would be hard to pass up. The Toronto Raptors got a steal with this undrafted free agent signing of Davis (who currently has a 16.6 player efficiency rating and 3.7 box plus/minus).
