The 2024 NBA Draft is nearly here and the Chicago Bulls could be at the center of the action.
There has been speculation that the Bulls will try to move up to land a higher-upside prospect, though in this draft, deciding how much is too much to give up to do so will be key.
Chicago is also desperate to get off Zach LaVine’s contract but have yet to have any luck moving it. It looks as though they may have to attach another asset if they want to end the LaVine era, which is exactly what happens in this NBA Mock Draft in which the Bulls land two high-end prospects to jumpstart their rebuild.
#1: Atlanta Hawks select Zaccharie Risacher
The Hawks will probably be trying to trade this pick right up to the last second, but so far have not found a package that has enticed them.
And they may not, as the guaranteed rookie salary for the #1 pick is steep in a draft without a perceived generational prospect.
If the Hawks can’t find a trade they like, then Risacher makes sense for them as a big two-way wing who can fit into any direction they take.
