Mock Draft: No. 7 to the Chicago Bulls

Analysis: done by Kyle Boone 

"In Isaac Okoro, the Bulls land a 3-and-D wing whose 3-point shooting remains a work-in-progress but whose D remains strong. So for a Chicago franchise already brimming with potential stars in Coby White and Zach LaVine, who command a lot of touches, he could step in immediately as a role player on the wing who can make an impact without requiring a high usage rate."

Chicago is also one of my personal favorite landing spots for Okoro as like, Phoenix, the team already has plenty of offensive talent  (LaVine, White and Lauri Markkanen) which would take the pressure off Okoro as he develops his offensive game.

Despite being a bad team overall, the Bulls also ranked first in the entire league with 10.0 steals per game which could mesh well with Okoro’s defensive mindset.
