24. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Dayton. Obi Toppin. 4. 6-foot-9 | F. player

The fit next to Lauri Markkanen is not ideal,  but Toppin may be hard to pass on for a team whose currently set in the backcourt with Zach LaVine and Coby White. Toppin would make for an interesting fit in Chicago’s offense, and while there may be better players available, he may have the highest offensive floor. In a weak draft, that might be enough to go fourth overall. Toppin would be a solid pick-and-roll partner for White going forward. The Bulls just hired a new F.O., so they may choose to clean house and draft another guard for the future.
