Tony Snell, G/F New Mexico (20)
I really like this pick for both the Bulls and Snell. Snell is exactly what the Bulls need in a wing player, a really good shooter who also has big time upside. Snell is very athletic and smooth, particularly laterally, giving him shutdown defensive potential. His issues of inconsistent effort aren't a worry in Chicago because if anyone can get him to work hard, it is Tom Thibodeau. Even if Snell never improves, he is still a very good shooter. I would expect improvement however.
Second Round
Erik Murphy, PF Florida (49)
Thr Bulls haven't had a big with three point range in a long time, so if Erik Murphy can not be too much of a negative on the defensive end, he could make this team and even get spot minutes in certain situations. Murphy isn't much of an athlete or rebounder, but he shot 45% from three and is a good passer. Like almost all second round picks, Murphy isn't going to have a huge, if any impact, but he does have a clearly defined skill.
