The Chicago Bulls don’t have a pick in either round of the 2023 NBA Draft. And for a team in desperate need of young talent to help ensure a bright future for the organization, that could end up being a disaster. They are in the middle of the pack in the East and need to find a way to secure a better future.
In turn, nailing undrafted free agency could end up being crucial for the Bulls, and as is the case every season, there should be some diamonds in the rough for them to sniff out. But that’s the hard part. Finding those diamonds.
Elias Schuster of Bleacher Nation compiled a list of potential undrafted targets for the Bulls, and one of the names on the list was Miami guard Isaiah Wong.
“Wong has the kind of experience and shotmaking ability that contending teams around the NBA would not mind taking a chance on,” Schuster wrote. “He played four full seasons for the Miami Hurricanes and was an instrumental part of the team making back-to-back Elite Eight appearances and their first-ever Final Four appearance this season.”
That being said, he did mention the possibility that Wong’s role could overlap with what Coby White brings to the table.
“With that said, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what his role would be at the next level,” Schuster wrote. “He’s likely a cerebral sixth-man scorer, and the Bulls may already have that position locked in for the foreseeable future if Coby White gets a new contract. Still, there is just something about Wong – the ACC Player of the Year – that makes you feel comfortable with the ball being in his hand.”
If Wong makes it through the draft without a team, the Bulls could be a squad to watch out for.
