Looking at the Bulls 2020 Draft Options

The city of Chicago is coming off another disappointing year of watching Bulls basketball. We once again missed the playoffs, and without any lottery luck we are projected to once again have the 7th overall pick. It would be the Bulls 4th straight year with the 7th pick, which is absolutely crazy. I don’t know about you guys but I just picture the Bulls once again getting that 7th pick, so let's look at some of the options. 

My favorite option for the Bulls is Dayton forward Obi Toppin. Toppin was the best player in the nation last year at the college level, leading Dayton to their best season in school history. Toppin does everything you want a modern day power forward to do, as he can shoot the 3, rebound, and is ultra athletic. The only problem is there's a good chance he will get drafted before 7.

Another option for the Bulls that I like is Tyrese Haliburton from Iowa State. Haliburton is a do it all point guard who is a very good passer (something the Bulls definitely need). I really like Haliburton’s height for the position although he is thin, and I think he would be a perfect fit as the Bulls don’t have a true point guard on the roster who has shown any promise. 

Lastly another player that I would like the Bulls to look at is Killian Hayes. I know a lot of you might not know the name, as Hayes is a point guard from France. I like Hayes at 7 because with what is considered a weak class, Hayes has more potential than just about any of the players coming out of colleges. Hayes possesses great size for the point guard position and definitely fills a need for the team. Although there is a lot of boom or bust potential with him, I wouldn’t mind the bulls swinging for the fences this year.

Those are 3 options I see being realistic in this year's draft for the Bulls, let me know in the comments who you guys think they should be targeting.

Looking at the Cubs 2020 Draft

Image
Although the 2020 MLB season is still not a sure thing, we did at least have the 2020 draft to follow this past week. While the draft was shortened to just five rounds there is still a lot for us to discuss. 1st Round : With the 16th overall pick in the draft, the Cubs selected high school shortstop Ed Howard. To my delight the Cubs stayed local and took hometown kid Ed Howard out of Mount Carmel High School. Like myself, you might remember Ed from the famous Chicago Jackie Robinson little league team that went on to win the U.S. championship at the Little League World Series. Now 18, Ed has all the tools to become a great prospect and be the Cubs everyday shortstop in the future. Being only 18 it will be at least a few years before we see him at Wrigley, but he has a ton of future potential.  2nd Round: In the 2nd round, the Cubs selected Dallas Baptist lefty reliever Burl Carraway. Viewed as the best reliever in the class, I think the Cubs possibly got a heck of a steal with this...

Reviewing the Bears 2020 Off-season

     With most of the pieces settled for the upcoming season, I figured that I would review the Bears 2020 off-season. There is both good and bad, so let's see how they did.      To start off, we have to talk about the trade for Nick Foles. The Bears sent a 4th round pick to Jacksonville for the former Super Bowl MVP quarterback. Personally, I love this move. While Foles still comes with question marks after a disappointing injury riddled year with the Jags, I think he still brings much promise to this offense. I also am all for getting another QB into this system after the disaster that was Mitch Trubisky last year for this team. As fans we have been starved for a solid QB for so long that I am happy that they are at least trying to add one.       Next the other huge move the Bears made was adding pro bowl pass rusher Robert Quinn to the team. The Bears inked him to a 5 year 70 million dollar contract. This is another move that I love f...

The Latest Cubs News

With baseball being back, there's finally some Cubs news to talk about. Players reported to Wrigley Field yesterday on the 1st of July. There then will be a kind of spring training like period up until games start on July 23rd. I don’t know about you guys, but for me that date can’t come soon enough. Also the Cubs heard back from the city of Chicago about the possibility of having people in the rooftops for the season. The city of Chicago has responded by allowing the Cubs to have 25% capacity in each of the different rooftops across from Wrigley Field. There was nothing about having fans actually in Wrigley Field, so I think it would be a safe bet that the Cubs will be playing their home games this year with no fans actually inside Wrigley Field. I know that this won’t be the same as the atmosphere of the crowd at Wrigley is what makes Cubs baseball so special, but in my opinion I would much rather have this than no baseball at all in 2020.  In more down Cubs news, today we found ...
