As draft day approaches, fans across the league are desperate to know what talent their favorite team will be adding in just less than a week from now. For the Chicago Bulls, this is an opportune moment to draft a rookie that can potentially change the direction of this franchise. Now that the combine and private workout periods have come and passed, now is the time to compile the most accurate 2022 NBA mock draft possible. For the Bulls, the possibility also remains that this year’s pick will be traded for veteran talent. As we continue to see more and more in each progressive draft, teams are willing to aggressively shell out assets to secure their favorite young talent. With the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs each armed with three first-round picks this year, we’re sure to see some draft-day fireworks. The Spurs also join the Minnesota Timberwolves as the only teams with four total picks in the draft. Six total teams have more than one first-round pick this year, and plenty of others have enough second-rounders stockpiled to move up into the first round if they so choose.
