What will the Bulls do with their 11th pick? A priori, they will keep it since they are increasing the number of tests, and on Monday, the Arturas Karnisovas staff invited six players! According to The Athleticit is Ron HollandRyan Dunn, Kyle Filipowski, Terrence Shannon Jr., Adem Bona, and Justin Moore.
Clearly, only one of these players has the potential to be selected 11th overall, and that's Ron Holland. But will it still be available? At 18 years old, the Texan winger is coming off a season, certainly shortened, but convincing in the G-League with 18.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.1 interceptions on average. Hit in a thumb, he preferred to end his season after 15 matches to concentrate on the Draft.
Ron Holland announced between 6th and 11th places
Will he still be available in 11th place? For the moment, the “mock drafts” position him between 6th place (Hornets) and 11th (Bulls). The Team Ignite winger has already met the Blazers (7th) and the Jazz (10th), and even if he is still very “raw”, many see in him great potential as an all-around player, capable of blacken the leaf by its activity. At 18, it’s a medium-term choice.
For the short term, the Bulls have also invited Terrence Shannon Jr. At 23 years old, he is one of the oldest players of this vintage, and he can finally devote himself to the Draft after having been cleared by the courts rape charges. In Chicago, we know him well since he played at Illinois. He is a big attacker, and the mock drafts place him more at the end of the first round. Since the Bulls don't have a second-round pick, that would mean they're considering drafting lower, and potentially trading away their 11th pick.
It's possible since Kyle Filipowski is announced at the end of the first round, just like Ryan Dunn.
