Joe Cowley’s annual ‘Mock Draft Surely to Go Wrong by Pick No. 4’

Big-man Victor Wembanyama is set to go No. 1 overall to the Spurs in Thursday’s NBA Draft, but after that go ahead and start throwing darts at the board.

The ball is now in Arturas Karnisovas’ court.

A draft pick sure isn’t. The Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations made sure of that, trading draft assets for Nikola Vucevic back in 2021, and then opting to try and win games late this season rather than tanking to try and keep the possibility of a top four protected selection in play.

With no second-round pick thanks to the mistake that was Jabari Parker, Thursday’s NBA Draft could be a very quiet one for Karnisovas & Co.
