Noa Essengue doesn’t know what he has gotten himself into with Bulls
Noa Essengue shakes hands with NBA commissioner Adam Silver after being drafted 12th overall by the Bulls on June 25 at Barclays Center in New York.At this point, it’s just sad. You can’t even be upset or ticked off anymore. Sorrow is the only emotion left.
Soon Noa Essengue, 18, is going to slide himself into a Bulls uniform, all 6-9, 198 pounds of him. He’ll look confident as well as lost. We’ll look at him with empathy and sympathy, saying internally: “Young man, we’re so happy you met your dream by making it to the NBA, but we only wish we coulda holla’d at you to warn you before they called your name at the 12th pick.”
