player. 24. If Bagley falls to the 4th pick to the Bulls — or any team for that matter — it’ll be a godsend.
<p>Bagley might be the best prospect in the draft. He’s a 6’10” big man with guard-like speed and ball-handling. He has a high motor which allows him to dominate on the glass for rebounds.</p>
<p>The only concerns for him — and the reasons he may slip to the fourth or fifth pick — are his jumper and the lack of a position, which go hand-in-hand. He doesn’t have the jumper to punish opponents, which makes it hard to define a position. He’s a tweener who has a low-post game and can’t protect the rim all that well.</p>
<p>Could his jumper improve to make that a non-factor? The Bulls should gamble on that, as a quartet of Bagley, Markannen, LaVine and Dunn would be a nice one to build off.<em> </em></p>
<p><em>Chance of getting #1 pick: 11.9 percent</em></p>
<p><em>Likely #1 pick: DeAndre Ayton</em></p>
<p><em>Alternative pick: Michael Porter Jr.</em></p>. F. Duke University. Marvin Bagley III. 4
