The Chicago Bulls are banking on the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft to infuse fresh talent into their roster, which is currently lacking youthful vigor. While there’s a slim possibility of snagging the top pick, it’s more realistic that they’ll stay within the 10-12 range. The 11th pick holds the highest probability, where they could still find valuable assets despite the draft’s uncertainty and absence of clear standout players.
According to NBA draft pundits Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo, the Bulls should consider prospects like Zaccharie Risacher, Alex Sarr, Rob Dillingham, or Reed Sheppard if they manage to break into the top four picks. However, the odds of this happening are a mere 9.4%, with a much likelier scenario being their retention of the 11th pick at 77.6%.
In the event they maintain their position, ESPN’s experts foresee them selecting Isaiah Collier, a robust point guard from USC. Collier’s draft stock has varied, with some mock drafts placing him within the top 10 while others push him out of the lottery entirely. Known for his ability to create scoring opportunities, Collier’s physical attributes and skill set make him a notable prospect.

Choosing Collier—or potentially other guards like Dillingham and Sheppard—would signify the Bulls’ forward-thinking approach, particularly if they doubt Lonzo Ball’s return due to his extended absence and expiring contract. Given Chicago’s need for talent across all positions, prioritizing the best available player might be prudent, though the allure of securing a promising point guard like Collier remains strong among analysts and fans alike.
