Playoffs further cement how Bulls screwed up the 2018 draft

Remember when the Bulls traded Jimmy Butler and then started the following season 3-20, putting them in prime position to get one of the very top picks in the 2018 NBA Draft?

Nikola Mirotic then came back from getting punched out by Bobby Portis and helped lead the Bulls to a fluke seven-game winning streak. At the end of the season, Sean Kilpatrick, aka Kill-draft-pick, helped the Bulls win some meaningless games to get them to 27-55. With the same odds as Sacramento on lottery night, it was instead the Kings jumping to No.
