After years of rostering subpar wing groups, Vice President of Basketball Artu016bras Karnišovas has made it a priority to replenish Chicago’s thin supply of two-way wings—now one of the NBA’s most coveted archetypes.
In back-to-back seasons, Karnišovas has drafted Matas Buzelis and Noa Essengue and also acquired Isaac Okoro via trade. As a result, this year’s wing rotation looks dramatically different from even the start of last season, when Patrick Williams was the only forward logging significant minutes.
Yet despite the recharged wing rotation, Karnišovas appears intent on continuing to stockpile versatile forwards, at least according to Bleacher Report’s latest NBA Mock Draft, which has the Bulls selecting Duke’s Dame Sarr with the 17th pick.
