Who is Chandler Hutchison? And Why Are NBA Teams Promising Him Things? The NBA Draft combine marks one of the most exciting times in the NBA, more so if you are complete basketball nerd (like me!). And the reason this specific time period is the sheer amount of stuff going on. Of course all of the teams out of the playoffs are buried in scouting reports, getting ready for the upcoming (June 21) 2018 NBA Draft. The Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers are locked in on their respective Conference Finals series. At the NBA Draft combine, there is lots of maneuvering behind the scenes. This includes agents trying to up-sell prospects, players being very selective with what drills they participate in, and of course, teams making “promises” to players in an effort to solidify their chances of selecting them. And reports say that Chicago Bulls have made such a promise to Boise State senior Chandler Hutchison. And so naturally, BullsNation is wondering, “who is Chandler Hutchison?” First thing to get out the way, yes, Hutchison is 22-years old. He played all four seasons of college ball at Boise State, a hallmark of a Gar Forman pick. Many NBA general managers refuse to take a chance on a player who has done four-years of school anymore. The train of thought is that these players have hit a developmental cap and aren’t worth the investment. Hutchison is a strong bet to — be yet another prospect to show — the four-year players are more than worth the investment. He is six-foot, seven-inches with a (at least) seven-foot wingspan. Hutchison was not a strong presence on NBA draft boards before this season. He did extensive work in college with Boise State Associate Head Coach Phil Beckner, who helped develop NBA-All Star Damian Lillard at Weber State. Beckner recently announced he was actually leaving Boise State to go after job opportunities at the NBA level. The Broncos coaching staff gave Hutchison the keys to the team, and he finished the season in the top 15 in the nation in usage percentage (33.2 percent). read more https://bullsconf.com/who-is-chandl...e-nba-teams-promising-him-things-53bded10f814
