Chandler Hutchison. 22. player. 24. . Small Forward. Boise State

With the No. 22 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls selected Boise State forward, Chandler Hutchison.

Anyone who was following the pre-draft process had a good idea that this is where Hutchison would land. Hutchison stopped working out for teams during the NBA Combine and many people believed it was because he had received a promise from a team. The team rumored to have given that promise was the Bulls, and that rumor proved to be correct.

At Boise State Hutchison did a lot of things well. During his senior season, he did everything for the Broncos. He averaged 20 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. There is not one area that Hutchison is elite at, but he does virtually everything well on the basketball court.

Hutchison is extremely athletic with all-around skill. His versatility will be nice in Chicago as he can play off of the other players already in place.

Hutchison is a good building block on the wing for Chicago, who added a great player to their frontcourt with Wendell Carter Jr. with the No. 7 overall pick. Those two, along with Lauri Markkanen, could be the Bulls starting frontcourt for the next decade.

Grade: A-
