Chicago Bulls: 3 prospects to avoid with the fourth pick

F Isaac Okoro, Auburn

Here’s the most controversial one: the draft’s best wing defender should is an absolute no.

Auburn’s Isaac Okoro has fantastic defensive capabilities, but there should be alarms going off when a player’s pro comparisons include the likes of Justin Anderson and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

Okoro can use his outstanding length to get steals, blocks and generally make another player’s life hell on the wing while using his athleticism to get to the basket on the offensive end.

When looking at his totals, Okoro shot nearly 68 percent at the basket but took less than 20 percent of his shots beyond five feet away.

So what should Bulls fans think about taking this guy?

In the words of Joliet Jake of the Blues Brothers, “No. (Bleeping). Way.”

Bulls fans are well aware that they need a wing player in the worst possible way, with Otto Porter Jr. barely being around to make an impact, Chandler Hutchison looking like a bust and Kris Dunn and Denzel Valentine on likely their way out this offseason.

That being said, I’d rather take a Devin Vassell or an Aaron Nesmith to provide floor stretching ability and be a nice bench piece while the team looks for a starter in 2021 free agency.

Okoro is a better version of Hutch or Nassir Little for sure, but I would not be surprised if he slid back in the lottery simply because of his limited offensive game.

If the Bulls were to take Okoro at four, I would lose my mind. I would much rather see him on a team like the Spurs or Kings where he can make a better transition and less pressure on him to develop an actual jump shot right away.
