For the first time since 2008, the Bulls transcended their pre-lotto slot at the NBA Draft Lottery Thursday, cashing in on 8.5 percent odds to move from No. 7 to No. 4.
That opens up a world of possibilities for Artu016bras Karnišovas and a fresh-faced front office regime. Could they look to inject some athleticism and all-around scoring punch with Dayton’s Obi Toppin? Take a star swing at the preternaturally gifted LaMelo Ball? Dip into the international pool with versatile point forward Deni Avdija or the silky-smooth southpaw Killian Hayes?
Or, might Karnišovas and Co. consider trading down from the spot in an asset-stack play?
