With the 2017 NBA Draft just weeks away, we take a look at some of the worst picks the Chicago Bulls made.

The 2017 NBA Draft is just weeks away. Most of the league, like the Chicago Bulls, place the hopes of the franchise’s future on the shoulders of the young men entering the draft. Most of these “kids” are still developing their bodies.

For some teams, their hopes are rewarded. They draft players who turn out to be stars who help their teams win not only regular season games but also postseason games, including championships.

For other teams, however, things don’t turn out so well. They get players who don’t rise to meet expectations or some who find themselves out of the league within a few seasons.

This shows that the draft is a crap shoot. Even some of the picks at the top, those considered “can’t miss” end up missing. Of course, the opposite is true as well. Some drafted late, who had low expectations, end up carrying franchises.

The Bulls made many draft picks over the years. As I mentioned above, some worked some did not. We will take a look at the five who REALLY didn’t work. These are the picks that made an impact on the wrong side.
