TSJ to Bulls would be fun, but I don’t see it. Arturas likes his potential/projects too much. I know barely anything about him, but when I saw he’s one of youngest in draft my prediction became Ron Holland to Bulls.

Since Dan already has the thread posted in this area, I'll make my posts here.

Still some question as to who will be the #1 pick.

There has already been a trade involving a pick tonight with the Blazers trading Malcolm Brogdon, the #14 pick tonight, a 2029 first round pick (second most favorable of Boston/Milwaukee/Portland), and two 2nd round picks to the Wizards for Deni Avdija.

I'll post the lottery picks along with any B1G picks or those picks with a connection to the state of Illinois in the 1st round. Due to the change in format, I'll only post the notable 2nd round picks.

Name I've seen in connection to the Bulls is Devin Carter from Providence though there's some thought that Bulls could move up or move down from the #11 spot.

Let’s go, have one of my favorite bottle of bourbon next to me for TSJ getting called early.

Where is the best place to watch the Draft? Might do The Sleepers podcast, but is there anyone else concentrating more on TSJ? Just curious... 🤔

Happy for that man, but I'd bet he can't name 5 players on the team that just drafted him.

Liking the draft party posts above just isn't enough for me. I don't think it is enough for any of the multitude of Illini fans. Terrence Shannon, Jr has been a dream come true for his family, his friends, the Illinois mens' basketball program, for his team mates at Lincoln HS/TexasTech/Illinois and more, and for his zillions of joyous fans.

Wouldn't it be the greatest thing ever to be able to let Terrence know that? Young man is a treasure

Honestly as fun as it would be to see TSJ playing with Ayo in Chicago(both hometown kids), I don't really know if it would be the best thing for his career to have to go to that dumpster fire.

Feel like he would be better off going to playoff caliber teams like OKC, Denver, or even the Lakers. Would love to see him catching full court outlet passes from Jokic.
