24. . Center. University of Texas. Mohammad Bamba. 7. player

Standing 6-foot-11 with an 8-foot wingspan and the ability to shoot from behind the arc, Mo Bamba could easily end up being the most dominant player in the draft.

At Texas, Bamba averaged a 14-point double-double while also being one of the NCAA’s premier shot blockers. With 3.7 rejections per game, there’s no reason to think Bamba can’t transfer that dynamic defense to the NBA.

Bamba unique offensive game will need some help, and the raw big man might need to put on some weight, but he is the perfect fit for the young Bulls.

With speed in the backcourt with Dunn and LaVine, the Bulls will now possess a dynamic frontcourt with Bamba and Markkanen. This would be a terrific addition for Chicago.

Bamba reminds me of Clint Capela. If used properly, he could be a beast in the NBA.
