    I think there's an outside chance Stokes gets taken at 19, but other than that......none of those guys seem worth getting excited about.

    I know the Bulls had a large workout with a bunch of wing players expected to be in the #16 and #19 range.

    Also interesting that they had Randle in for a workout....maybe thoughts of trading up?

    Re: Bulls trying to move up

    As always, thanks for the Newsfeed TBF.

    We certainly shipping in huge amounts of second round picks.

    A few thoughts:

    1). Maybe this means we've decided on who we want in the first round? Maybe the Bulls are being secretive in order to conceal their hand about potential trades?

    2). Maybe the Bulls are planning a big trade and need to use second round picks to fill out the roster, either for basketball or monetary reasons.

    3). The second round of this draft looks like it might have an unusually high number of playable guys this year, so maybe they're targeting some guys for trades on draft night. (Philly has 9 second round picks I believe.....they can't possibly need them all).

    4). Maybe they're grouping these guys together so they can work out against the first round prospects?

    Chicago Bulls: Doug McDermott, Adreian Payne, Gary Harris are our early frontrunners

    Chicago Bulls: Doug McDermott, Adreian Payne, Gary Harris are our early frontrunners for potential prospects the Bulls may take with their #16 and/or #19 Picks. Here is what we know:

    Doug McDermott
    - Rumor Press reported since 2012 that the Chicago Bulls have interest in McDermott

    Adreian Payne and Gary Harris
    - Of all the teams we saw the Bulls scout in 2013-14, the team they scouted the most that we have on record is Michigan State. We just aren't 100% sure if it's Adreian Payne or Gary Harris that they have interest in.
    - Both prospects are widely known as shooters, Payne the one who took the biggest leap forward this season.
    - Both prospects are widely known as good college defenders. Payne being a good post defender but has noticeable flaws especially with his feet and lungs. Harris being a good overall defender but his height could cause issues at the next level.
    - At least a few Bulls writers have said that the Chicago Bulls ideal pick is Adreian Payne.

    Payne is Taj Gibson redux. If the Bulls take him with the 19th pick, I won't be unhappy.
