2. Harrison Barnes
The Chicago Bulls should be in the market for a forward. It was an area of need heading into the season depth-wise. The injury to Patrick Williams caused an even bigger void to be created and they will have to scour the league to fill it.
The Bulls’ search should land them with the Sacramento Kings. Sacramento has been shopping Buddy Hield and Marvin Bagley III for months but has found no takers. If the price is right, both players could help the Bulls, but their teammate, Harrison Barnes, is who Chicago should be targeting.
Barnes is off to a fantastic start this season. He is averaging 23.3 points per game, knocking down 47.3 percent and 3.3 3-pointers per game. Barnes is also grabbing 9.3 rebounds and handing out 2.4 assists per game as well.
The price to acquire him will likely be steep. He has been the Kings’ best player in the early going and the team is playing competitive basketball. Jobs are on the line, so they will be looking to make a playoff push this season, not become sellers in the early going.
