The Chicago Bulls are looking to jumpstart their rebuilding effort with two First Round picks this year.
The team selected Carolina big man Caleb Wilson fourth overall.
The team has long been tagged to take Wilson, whose only pre-draft visit was with the Bulls and Splitter last week, and apparently, Chicago was his ideal landing spot.
We are still getting to know Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Bryson Graham and new Head Coach Tiago Splitter, so Tuesday will teach us a lot about their approach to rebuilding.
Graham made his first trade as vice president, acquiring center Nic Claxton from Brooklyn on Monday night as part of a three-team trade that brings a starter at a good price, which is a strong start.
There is no question that they need players who can make an impact, and with two picks in the top 15, starting at fourth overall, that seems inevitable.
And as the stage was set at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, buzz continued around the Bucks' trade of Giannis Atentakumpo to Miami late Monday night.
The move altered competition in the division, but not mock draft speculation, where the Bulls were said to be among the many with high interest in Duke's Cam Boozer, the son of former Bull Carlos Boozer.
But Memphis ended up taking Boozer with their third overall overall pick.
The Bulls will be on the clock again at pick 15, which, this year, is a good thing. This draft class has been called historically deep with plenty of talent to be had. That is a good thing for the Bulls, as they are a lottery team for a reason.
