Why Chicago Bulls should uphold promise to Chandler Hutchison

The Chicago Bulls apparently made a promise to one late first-round prospect. Why should they uphold their end of the deal and select him at no. 22?

Count this as one of the more odd scenarios of the NBA offseason. By now, you have probably heard of the report linking the Chicago Bulls to Boise State swingman Chandler Hutchison. For some reason, the Bulls front office was said to have promised to take Hutchison if he was there with the no. 22 overall pick.

Now, no one confirmed the report. However, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune did say that the Bulls have strong interest in Hutchison. Even if the Bulls did make a promise and it has been kept under wraps — for the most part — it wouldn’t be that crazy.

If you look back, there have been times where players were promised similar things behind the scenes, in various sports as well. It isn’t that crazy of a situation, but it’s still somewhat funny that it’s the Bulls. After all, this front office hasn’t exactly been held in high regard by the fans over the past few years.

While Hutchison is viewed as a mid-to-late first-round prospect in most outlets’ eyes, I’m here to tell you that the Bulls should uphold their end of the deal if he is there with their second selection in the first round. He is worth the pick. Here are three particular reasons why he should be a Bull.
