Cedric Coward Is the Draft Steal the Chicago Bulls Can’t Pass On!

i want to talk about the guy who I believe the Chicago Bulls need to be taking a serious look at i look at this young man as a perfect fit for the Bulls he’s a two-way wing that the Bulls have been searching for he’s a 3 and D player his IQ is absolutely through the roof he doesn’t need the basketball in his hands to be an effective player and I think that he could develop into a long-term piece next to Josh Giddy next to Modis Bzelis the perfect piece if you were going to end up moving on from Kobe White but even with Kobe White on the team I think he fits in perfectly there as well and brings you some of that defensive versatility if you guys have watched me on Locked on Bulls you know who I’m talking about here i’ve been high on this young man from the beginning cedric Coward is him and I don’t think there’s any way that you can allow yourself to miss on this opportunity to go draft this young man i know some of the knocks on his game right i know that you know when you look at the fact that last season he only end up playing in six games due to injury uh that there’s a small sample size versus tough competition he played at Washington State right that that means that he wasn’t playing against the best of the best every night and it may be a little bit of time where he has to adjust to the NBA’s pace and the NBA’s physicality but I’m telling you right now if you’re looking for your next Jimmy Butler with maybe a little bit better attitude now depending on where you’re at you know 10 years into the NBA but I I feel like that guy who’s just willing to come in earn his spot and work if you’re looking for and I think this young man can be I’m this high on him right this may bite me in the butt this may come off as hottake culture but when you watch this kid this is how you feel when you listen to him talk this is how it feels this young man to me could be the Anthony Edwards of this draft i think he could be one of the best players taken in this draft i think this would be a steal of a player if he does end up falling to you at 12 based on recent workouts that the Bulls just did with Cedric Coward um and and kind of how these mock drafts have gone it does seem like he may be available for you at 12 or close to 12 now in college he averaged 17.7 points per game seven rebounds 3.7 assists on 55% shooting from the field 40% shooting from three and 83% from the free throw line his catch and shoot is one of the most beautiful strokes in college basketball right now he’s got some great court vision and I know the assist numbers are low but as he’s moving he can take the ball off of the glass and set his team up if he needs to i think he’s a monster floor spacer if you’re talking about wanting to replace somebody like Zack Lavine who was very good at spacing the floor for you I think that this is an answer at that as well when you talk take the uh the size into consideration right you’re talking to him about 66 almost 67 but he’s got a 7 foot2 wingspan that he uses phenomenally phenomenally on defense i’m not going to lie to you this is the player that AK has been looking for this is what you hoped Patrick Williams was going to have the talent to turn into and this is actually the guy who’s the unknown guy he’s a little bit more known now because of the the draft workouts and people talking about him and different things like that but he is literally the unknown guy at the unknown school that AK always wants to go get this is the year I need you to be AK this is the year I need you to be looking at the dude that nobody else is looking at and say “I see uh uh D1 potential i see NBA potential i see stu superstar potential.” That’s who Cedric Coward is going to be defensively for a wing he was a block over a block and a half a game last year he does a great job defensively uh uh disrupting passing lanes he does a great job contesting shots he’s switchable two through four even if he gets on a big man at this level if you switch him on to Cadet Homegr he’s going to be a problem for Chad Homegr I think that he could relieve a ton of the pressure off of IO Dumu and I guess if Patrick Williams returns to form Patrick Williams defensively like this is the kind of player that you need to bring in if you are the Chicago Bulls I think this is your best bet to go out there and have a chance to get somebody who has a really high floor that also has a extremely high ceiling i also love Thomas Sorber in this draft i love Danny Wolf in this draft but I think the floor on Sorber very high the the ceiling little bit lower he’s kind of who he’s going to be coming out of college danny Wolf to me I think that he has a a the floor a little bit lower there but the ceiling is very high for Danny Wolf but that floor very a lot lower than where you would think it should be to me this is the guy who has the high floor has the high ceiling shows you everything that you need to see from a two-way perspective from a offensive perspective from a three-point shooting perspective from a finishing around the rim perspective from a IQ perspective this is the best player to me in this draft not named Cooper Flag and I don’t even think that it is close if we’re being honest maybe I’m sipping the Kool-Aid maybe this will come back to bite me 10 years down the road but I want you to listen to this young man talk and you tell me uh uh um how you feel about him after you’re done go listen to his interviews go listen to his pre-draft stuff and some of the podcast that he’s been on and how he talks about his game and what he does and doesn’t do on the court this is a young man that brings confidence to the floor brings ability to the floor and he’s the to me he’s the easy easy pick if you’re the Chicago Bulls right now think he fits in perfectly let me know how you guys feel in the comments below i’ll be down there talking with you guys as well as always man it’s your boy Path the Designer back at it again y’all see how hype I get over Cedric Coward bro like that’s that’s that’s my pick that’s my pick and I’m Hey I think this man gonna be a dog at the NBA level y’all let me know how you guys feel man y’all stay safe out there Chicago c Red Nation stand up let’s hope we get this right peace
