2024 NBA Mock Draft: Bulls take win-now shooter, Rockets build for future
#11: Chicago Bulls select Dalton Knecht
The Bulls were just 26th in the NBA in 3-pointers made last season, so Knecht would give them an immediate boost in that department, as he knocked down just under 40 percent in his final year of college on high volume.

He can get buckets all over the floor and should at the very least give the Bulls a floor spacer, which will help their guards. Chicago could certainly go for a point guard here, but instead go for a player who can help them win now and be a potential replacement for DeMar DeRozan if they decide not to bring him back.
Even if they did, Knecht’s shooting would play in a lot of lineups for the Bulls whether they blow it up or not.
