3 Chicago Bulls draft prospects to add for Lonzo Ball insurance

TyTy Washington Jr. would give the Chicago Bulls insurance for Lonzo Ball

Lastly, the Bulls could snag point guard TyTy Washington out of Kentucky — yet another kid gone pro under John Calipari.

Washington is a little smaller than the aforementioned guys at 6-foot-4, but still offers above-average size at the point guard position.

After suffering an ankle injury last season, Washington’s production dropped, causing him now to be viewed as one of the draft’s wildcards. He very well could go inside the lottery, but may also drop towards pick 20 overall.

One of the big knocks on Washington is that he hasn’t always been the full-time point guard for Kentucky, but when he’s been given the reins, he’s performed. For example, Washington set a Kentucky record with 17 assists in one game last year. He certainly has the ability to create for others.

Other than his passing, Washington has a pretty solid jump shot and is an average three-point shooter. He’s an all-around smart player who will not be a liability on defense and does many things well. But, does he do anything exceptionally well? That’s the real question that teams are trying to figure out.

Washington could end up being a steal at pick 18, or a total bust. He’s definitely a risk, but very well might pan out as a guy who has a long career in this league.
