For the fourth time in five seasons the Chicago Bulls NBA Draft position will be decided by the draw of a ping pong ball as the NBA Draft Lottery is set to air at 7:30 PM CST on ESPN.<\/p>\n
The Bulls, of course, have been watching the NBA’s Bubble restart from home since it returned in late July and have spent much of the offseason maneuvering their front office in an effort to once again operate in the 21st century. With a new EVP of Basketball Operations, new General Manager, and soon-to-be new head coach, the Bulls now set their sights on what the roster might look like entering the 2021 season. Here’s what that means tonight with the Bulls chances in tonight’s drawing:<\/p>\n
No. 1 pick: 7.5%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
No. 2 pick: 7.8%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
No. 3 pick: 8.1%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
No. 4 pick: 8.5%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
No. 7 pick: 19.7%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
No. 8 pick: 34.1%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
No. 9 pick: 12.9%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
No. 10 pick: 1.3%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
No. 11 pick: 0.03%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The last time the Bulls held the No. 1 overall pick in the draft was 2008 where they selected, as you probably remember, Derrick Rose. For the past three seasons they have selected from the No. 7 slot\u2014taking Coby White out of North Carolina, Wendell Carter, Jr. from Duke, and trading into the position in 2017 to select Lauri Markkanen from Arizona. In 2016, the Bulls took Denzel Valentine at 14, who was the Big Ten Player of the Year out of Michigan State.<\/p>\n
Ironically, the Bulls enter the 2020 lottery with a 19.7% to select out of the seventh spot again, the second highest percentage on their board.<\/p>\n
