CHICAGO BULLS PICK DALEN TERRY OF ARIZONA #18
SNAP GRADE: A
@David Thorpe: Love when good teams keep their eyes on the future. Terry is a natural talent and athlete who is a gifted passer. Kinda like Lonzo Ball at this age. LaVine/DeMar should love him.

The Lakers sat at No. 2, and were fixated on UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball. They didn’t even bring Tatum in for a workout. The reasons for these decisions are painful to revisit for those who made them, and somewhat lost to history because the principals — Bryan Colangelo (Philadelphia) and Magic Johnson (Lakers) — are no longer in their roles. Tatum saw them as slights and used them as motivation. “The Lakers were my favorite team, and Kobe was my favorite player,” says Tatum, who wore a purple No. 24 wristband to honor Bryant in Boston’s win against the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. “So it was crazy that the Lakers had the second pick and I was so close to a dream come true. But it was just like they didn’t want anything to do with me at the time.” -via ESPN / June 8, 2022

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball’s season ended early when he dealt with some knee issues which led to a meniscus surgery in late January. Playing in just 35 games in his first year with the team, Ball said he loved performing in front of fans at the United Center. “Playing there is amazing, personally those are my favorite fans,” Ball told HEIR Company. “I love playing in front of Chicago.” -via NBC Chicago / June 6, 2022
