Carter was a top 3 player out of HS and was going to be the main focus of Duke. Hes not low ceiling at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll fit well with Lauri, that's for sure. He is a very good player. Some people will get pissed that he's not a superstar pick (rightfully so) but I'll gladly take an all star, Al Horford 2.0 potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause he does a lot of things well, does not mean he has a low ceiling. He's just less "raw"...doesn't mean he isn't talented. Carter Jr is an athletic big who is extremely long. He doesn't jump out of the building but his wingspan is legit impressive and he will be an imposing defender. Not super quick but still solid speed that should play in pick n roll defense and a very efficient scorer, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the Bulls are putting themselves right back in NBA hell. What "star" was sitting there at 7? Maybe one was, maybe it wasn't. maybe there is a star sitting at 22 or 30 (who eventually emerge). Carter Jr. was the best available player (adjusting for potential medicals) on the board. We absolutely could have missed out on a star, but I don't see how they flat out ignored ceiling to go floor with this draft pick. Porter has talent and if people believed in his medicals he is going way above 7. The fact that he hasn't, means there are real reasons to be concerned about his medicals (and I can't flaw the Bulls for passing on that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Sexton is a bundle of talent...will be interesting to see if he or Young becomes the better player. He definitely checks off all the physical/athletic attributes and can really score the ball, although he’s not yet consistent from deep outside.

I think it's just more disappointment that the Bulls ended up at 7 in a top 5 draft (after MPJ got hurt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you watch Carter the more you see a guy who in 3 years will be bigger stronger and has a really good looking shot. He could be a better Horford.

caulfield12 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 He was so overshadowed by Bagley that he tended to become a bit stagnant and float around the perimeter as a secondary scoring option. He’s not flashy, he’s a solid pick for sure, but I can also understand fans wanting a game changer. He’s certainly not going to sell any tickets by himself, for some reason he reminds me of Drew Gooden, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope people are excited about being a 5-8 range playoff team for the foreseeable future as I don’t know how we ever get better than that with the core we have in place. We have one potential star and will quickly become decent enough to not have top five picks. This is an absolute nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 3 he wanted were doncic, young and porter. Porter still not picked at 12. Young I wasnt a fan of and made no sense, Doncic the bulls needed to lose more games.
