The Bulls Used Their 22nd Pick On Chandler Hutchison

-

I asked nicely John.

You did not listen.

The Bulls reportedly promised Chandler Hutchinson they would draft him at 22 over a month ago. He shut down his workouts and he skipped the combine. Way to hide your hand fellas!

The 6’7 wing does have a 7’1 wingspan and a decent sized frame, but this pick has such little upside. I can’t see straight I’m so mad.

He’s 22 years old already. He shot a pedestrian 35.3% percent from three over his collegiate career. Boise State played four high majors all of last season.

His size and length are his strengths, yet he plays primarily below the rim and played in a zone defense throughout college. So we haven’t yet seen if his lack of athleticism can translate into success against legitimate competition because the competition he played against in college was so bad. We have no clue if his size/length combo will help him excel defensively because he hasn’t really guarded anybody 1-on-1 in five years.

The Bulls had a chance here to go young with upside or go old and polished. They did, neither? Fantastic!
