Duke. Grayson Allen. 22. player. 24. . SG

He shoots, he scores and the Bulls love their wings – so it’s a match made in heaven.

"Allen has proved he is one of the best knockdown shooters in this class. He’s a career 38% three-point shooter and has the ability to hit tough contested shots. He’s great off the curl, pulling up, and isn’t afraid to let it fly. In today’s NBA where shooting and space is everything, Allen will be able to fit right in."

Full preview: Grayson Allen – Prototypical Duke shooting talent

Team needs:

It seems the Bulls are content playing upstart Lauri Markkanen at power forward and would love to pair a talented center beside him. Additionally, Chicago is always eager to fill the well up with wings, so don’t expect them to veer away from that path now that the NBA is playing postionless ball and the middle segment of rosters being oh so important to teams’ abilities to guard several positions or play small.
