It was uncharted territory for Arturas Karnisovas on several fronts.
Not only was the Bulls’ executive vice president of basketball operations making final draft decisions at the head of the table for an organization for the first time, but was picking fourth overall on Wednesday night.
“I never picked that high,” Karnisovas said, referring to his days in the Denver front office. “In the draft, when you pick four, you have to like four guys. In a way, it was a little bit easier than liking 20 guys.
“We realized that we’re hopefully never going to be in that situation again and pick that high.
