This Scenario Could Land The Bulls Michael Porter Jr.

It's not often that the #1 preseason NBA draft prospect falls outside of the top-5, but a back injury that cost Missouri small forward Michael Porter Jr. almost his entire freshman season may scare some teams away, and land him right in the Bulls' laps. NBCSports Chicago's Mark Schanowski details that exact scenario.

The picture Schanowski paints isn't that far-fetched. I've said time and time again that I hope the Bulls invest in a rim-protecting center with their first pick, but if Porter Jr. is available then the Bulls may have to pull the trigger. The injury concerns are real, but he's a 6'10 forward that can score from anywhere. That skillset may be too good to pass up. Only 2 months left of overanalyzing draft possibilities until we find out who the Bulls actually pick!
