Chicago Bulls: Ranking every 1st round pick from 2010s
By Ryan Heckman
Believe it or not, the Chicago Bulls have in fact nailed a few first-round picks in the last decade.
I know, it’s a strange idea to read. The current state of the Chicago Bulls is not a positive one, especially considering the entire sports world is on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But, at this point, sports fans have to look forward. What do we have to look forward to, though? Right now, as basketball fans, we can look forward to the 2020 NBA Draft. Just how will that take place now, though?
In all likelihood, it will be virtual of some sorts, similar to the upcoming NFL Draft. For now, we can look back before we look forward.
How have the Bulls fared in the draft over the last decade? If you’re a fan who has paid close attention over that time period, your initial answer might be of disgust — and trust me, I’m right there with you.
Chicago hasn’t had the best luck in the lottery over the last few years and continue to pick at no. 7, which has become a bit of a joke. But, there have been some strong picks along the way. The Bulls haven’t been a total failure — but close to it — when it comes to the draft.
Before we officially get started, I will mention that the Bulls’ only year without a first-round pick came in 2010 when they selected Kevin Seraphin and immediately traded him to the Washington Wizards. With that said, let’s count down and rank the nine first rounders the Bulls have had this decade.
