If you're shooting in close, if you're shooting from deep.

And then feel, I think, has replaced athleticism.

In part because look at Steph Curry and Nikola Jokic, two all-time great players who are probably below average

athletes in terms of terms of running and jumping at their position but you know yokich and curry are to me both top 10 players of all time probably and they're both incredibly smart players i mean great for a lot of different reasons both have fantastic touch yokich obviously has a ton of positional size but

The feel for the game, I think, is so important.

So a little tougher to evaluate.

A couple stats I like to look at.

One is just assist to turnover ratio.

Just sort of clues you into decision making, I think.

And then I also like steal percentage generally in the NBA.

Guys who have like a steal percentage about three or two and a half percent in college or in international.

Those are the guys who tend to pop.

So I think just like getting steals, anyone who's even played pickup basketball, if someone's getting a lot of steals on the floor, they're usually one of the best players out there.

So I like touch, size, feel.

Of course, these are difficult intersections to find, especially when you're not picking at the top of the draft, as the Bulls have not been for a long time now.

But, hey, the Bears got really lucky to get Caleb, right?

They needed Lovie Smith to lead the Texans to a miracle in that final game of what was that, the 2023 season?

So luck is always involved, and the Bulls need some luck on their side.

Patrick Williams wasn't good enough in terms of lucking into the 2020 draft.

They need another bite at the apple.
