The Chicago Bulls via a trade with Minnesota selects Lauri Markkanen, a stretch forward out of Arizona with the seventh overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft.
Fantasy Impact
Markkanen gets drafted by the Bulls who acquired the pick in the Jimmy Butler trade earlier in the draft night. With the Bulls going into a rebuild expect the team to give playing time to the 20-year-old. Markkanen is known for his offense and strong outside shot but struggles on defense and could find himself on the bench if he cannot adjust to the NBA. He should be a strong fantasy player once he gets over his growing pains.
