According to a report from Comcast SportsNet Chicago, Louisville guard and 2017 NBA Draft prospect Donovan Mitchell impressed the Chicago Bulls on Thursday during a pre-draft workout.

The Chicago Bulls will have the No. 16 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft and one of the names rising up draft boards everywhere since the NBA Draft Combine is Louisville guard Donovan Mitchell.

During his two seasons with the Cardinals, Mitchell averaged 11.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and showed some nice strides from his freshman to sophomore seasons under Rick Pitino.

After some good measureables in Chicago at the combine where he measured in at 6-foot-3 (shoes) with a 6-foot-10 (!) wingspan, along with a 40.5-inch max vertical leap, Mitchell has risen up draft boards by the day.

The Bulls might be a bit out of the range to get Mitchell on June 22 during the first round of the draft, but if he does fall to No. 16 (or if they want to trade up potentially), the Bulls could be looking to take the 20-year-old from New York.

Comcast SportsNet Chicago Bulls insider Vincent Goodwill dropped an interesting note after Mitchell went through a pre-draft workout with the Bulls.

Hearing Louisville guard Donovan Mitchell had impressive workout with Bulls. Seems unlikely he's around at 16, though — Vincent Goodwill (@vgoodwill) June 8, 2017

Like Goodwill noted, it’s probably unlikely that the Bulls can get Mitchell at No. 16. (Draft Express’s most recent mock draft has the Detroit Pistons taking Mitchell with the 12th overall pick. The Bulls are currently slated to take North Carolina’s Justin Jackson at No. 16.)

The Bulls could look to move up in the draft if they’re huge fans of Mitchell, but it’ll be interesting to see if more trade rumors surround the Bulls, particularly with their centerpiece in Jimmy Butler.

Once again the Bulls seem committed to keeping Butler in the fold for next season (at least), but anything can happen on draft night. There’s still 14 days to go.
