In this video, I’m keeping it real about the lottery: the Bulls may not get that jump, and staying at #10 is a very realistic outcome. I ran a sim where Chicago stayed put, and it reminded me of what I said before—this draft isn’t “only top four or bust.” There are players later in the lottery who can turn into real difference-makers, and you can’t let the narratives trick you into thinking the talent just stops. With the Bulls at 10, I talk about why Braden Burries out of Arizona could be the perfect pick. The efficiency pops—about 16 points per game on basically 50% from the field, 39% from three on four attempts, and 80% at the line, plus 1.5 steals and only 1.4 turnovers. What really makes me like him for Chicago is the defense and the fit next to Josh Giddey. We’ve seen some of the best ball this year with Trey Jones and Giddey together, and Burries can bring a similar vibe with more scoring juice while still being a solid passer. I also get into his profile as a 2-1 combo guard at 6’4, the NBA-style comps like Malcolm Brogdon and CJ McCollum, and why his body/physicality and controlled aggression getting to the rim make him a smart, realistic swing at #10.
