Chicago Bulls: 3 2020 draft targets worth trading down for
1) Chicago Bulls draft targets worth trading down for: Isaac Okoro, SF
That aforementioned need that the Bulls have to add wing depth to this roster is going to really come to the forefront in the NBA Draft and this cycle of free agency. They have to do something to add depth to this rotation on the wing behind the likes of veteran small forward Otto Porter Jr. OPJ is just too injury prone in the last two seasons to otherwise trust he’ll hold up during the 2020-21 campaign.
A great option for the Bulls to look to in this draft class, that has a pretty high floor and tremendously high upside considering he might not be a top six prospect, is former Auburn Tigers true freshman small forward Isaac Okoro. This 6-foot-6 and 225 pound Powder Springs, GA, native played in 28 games in the season that was for Auburn (all of which he started in).
In those 28 games played, Okoro averaged 12.9 points per game, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.9 blocks. He shot 51.4 percent from the field, 28.6 percent from beyond the arc, and 67.2 percent from the free-throw line. That amounted to a 6.3 box plus/minus rating, .156 win shares per 40 minutes, and a 58.7 true shooting percentage.

If Okoro can improve his three-point shot, to at least get around 33-35 percent early in his pro career, then he could be a real two-way wing threat for a team that needs one like the Bulls. His defensive upside is insane, as are his physical tools, rebounding ability, and lateral quickness. If he is available between picks six and 10, then the Bulls should really explore the idea of trading down to land Okoro.
