There is a really good chance that Jaren Jackson Jr. goes top-three based just on his potential alone. But other teams above them may be discouraged by his lack of playing time for Tom Izzo. Analytics leads some scouts to believe he could be the best player in this Draft. I am not on that train.

The Bulls need someone to line up next to Lauri Markkenen next season and JJJ makes perfect sense. I do not believe he will be atop their draft board, but he will be the best player available at seven.

They may try to trade up to get Michael Porter Jr. as well, but if not, this is a perfect fit for them.
