The 2020 NBA Draft big board for the Chicago Bulls with the fourth overall pick in the first round is starting to get more clarity in the public eye.
As we move closer and closer to the night of the 2020 NBA Draft, it feels like fans are getting more clarity as to what the Chicago Bulls plan for their lottery pick will be. There is still the unknown factor surrounding recently hired executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley as to whether they will trade up or down in the first round of the draft.
If Karnisovas and Eversley stay put with the Bulls fourth overall pick in the draft lottery, then there’s a number of possibilities they could have for which prospect to go with. A clearer top three in this draft class does seem to be emerging in recent weeks. In all likelihood, the top three picks will consist of former Georgia shooting guard Anthony Edwards, Illawarra Hawks point guard LaMelo Ball, and Memphis center James Wiseman.
But if any one of those three prospects falls out of the top three, it could really play to the Bulls benefit. Whether it be Karnisovas and Eversley trading down from the four slot to pickup more future/draft capital in the process or getting a steal with one of those three prospects, that would be a good situation for the front office.
The Bulls hold the fourth overall pick in the first round of the draft lottery, and the original Memphis Grizzlies 44th overall pick in the second round. This will be the first time in more than three years that the Bulls aren’t picking seventh overall in the draft lottery, which is a pretty refreshing feeling.
Here’s a look at three emerging realistic options if the Bulls stand pat with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 draft lottery.
