Chicago Bulls: 5 players to watch in the NCAA Tournament

It is that time of year again as sports fans of all ages are ready to watch the madness. The Chicago Bulls should have their eyes on a few key players.

Many Chicago Bulls fans will be paying closer attention to the 2018 NCAA Tournament than their own team for the next few weeks. That’s okay, believe it or not. It’s well-known that the Bulls’ season was over before it even began.

The tanking has long set in at this point, and the Bulls have even been warned by the commissioner to be careful resting their veterans for a significant amount of time. In case anyone was wondering prior to the warning, Fred Hoiberg and the Bulls front office are absolutely in all-out tank mode.

As the tournament gets underway, Chicago’s scouts and personnel department will likely be keeping their eyes on several players. At the moment, the Bulls are the likeliest to pick at number eight overall, based on their record.

With the way the draft lottery works, keep in mind that the Bulls could be picking anywhere in the top 13, but they are probable to pick in the 6-to-10 range. With that in mind, there are a handful of very promising players the Bulls could end up selecting in the 2018 NBA Draft.

Here is a list of five players Bulls fans should be watching for in this year’s tournament.
