However, the more likely outcome is that the Bulls pick somewhere in the mid-to-late lottery.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent mock draft from Bleacher Report\u2019s Jonathan Wasserman, the Bulls are working with the 11th overall pick. As this years draft class projects to be both deep and talented, the Bulls would have multiple options at number 11. Wasserman mocked that Chicago selected Jase Richardson, likening him to Reed Sheppard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of the reason he\u2019d become so well-regarded was because of his consistency,\u201d Wasserman wrote. \u201cEven without a high-usage role, he had been a reliable source for shotmaking, finishing and high-energy plays. It\u2019s also become clear that he offers more creativity than the early numbers suggest. While he\u2019s been incredibly efficient off the ball, he\u2019s also been one of the nation\u2019s most efficient ball-screen scorers thanks to his feel on drives, elite finishing and 49.1 percent pull-up shooting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richardson, 19, would fit into the Bulls\u2019 rotation as a multi-level scoring guard who can thrive next to either Josh Giddey or Coby White due to his ability to operate without the ball. Of course, he will need to prove that he can hang defensively against NBA-level athletes, but that\u2019s the case for all rookies.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Bulls Expected to Embrace a Slower Rebuild<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent article for NBA.com, Bulls Insider Sam Smith noted the front office\u2019s willingness to embrace a slower rebuild in the hopes of creating a sustainable roster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bulls seem pretty done with the big-time-free-agent Alpha route and Big Three makeup,\u201d\u00a0Sam Smith wrote in a recent mailbag for NBA.com.\u00a0\u201c\u2026But since the Vu\u010devi\u0107 trade it seems like the Bulls have decided, especially with the urgency in the LaVine trade to get their own daft pick back, that the future will be more about using their own picks in an organic improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026I doubt the Bulls endanger that by trying to make a move to win once\u2014or get to sixth\u2014than gradually building upon what they have. It\u2019s difficult, but it seems like they are going to pursue sustainability over the spectacular. A lot of teams like Philadelphia recently won the offseason; it\u2019s not as valid a route anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding high-level talent through the draft is one of the most cost-effective ways to build a roster. It\u2019s also one of the more reliable ways to develop a contender over time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Arturas Karnisovas Calls for Patience<\/h2>\n<p>During an April 17 media availability, Bulls\u2019 Vice President of Basketball Operations, Arturas Karnisovas, asked the fanbase to remain patient as the team embraces a period of change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m asking for the fans to have patience,\u201d\u00a0Karnisovas said. \u201cWe\u2019re in the first year of that transition. I thought that the way we finished the year shows some promise. It\u2019s hard to win games in this league. But to finish 15-5, it\u2019s not a victory lap, but I think there are some positives. I think we gotta keep on building this group by adding another player in the lottery. Going into free agency and adding another piece. And, obviously, going into the summer, that\u2019s when the players get better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding a young and exciting player in the draft would undoubtedly go a long way to appeasing the fan base. If he\u2019s available when the Bulls are on the clock, then acquiring Richardson would be a solid pickup. Still, the only way to ensure the fanbase remains on board is to re-sign Giddey in the summer. Once he\u2019s locked in, you can truly begin to shape the roster.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Taylor is a basketball reporter covering the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns for Heavy.
