Bulls Rumors: CHI Deciding Between Deni Avdija, Patrick Williams for No. 4 Pick

Should they stick with the No. 4 selection in Wednesday's NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls have narrowed their targets to Maccabi Tel Aviv wing Deni Avdija and Florida State forward Patrick Williams, according to The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor.

However, O'Connor also reported the Bulls have discussed a trade with the Golden State Warriors. Chicago would move up to No. 2, while Golden State would drop back two spots and also get Wendell Carter Jr.

The trade discussions with Golden State hint at some level of interest from the Bulls in Memphis center James Wiseman. Were Carter to go, Daniel Gafford or Cristiano Felicio would be left to start at center without somebody new coming in.

NBC Sports Chicago's K.C. Johnson reported Tuesday that Williams was becoming the consensus pick: "One league source even went so far as to say he's under the impression that the Bulls have told the Florida State forward they plan to draft him should they not trade up from No. 4."

Avdija has long been floated as a possible top-five pick. Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman projected him to land in the Windy City and wrote how "teams view Avdija as one of the safest bets in the draft based on his success overseas, physical tools, skill versatility and reputation as a worker."

Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes reported Otto Porter Jr. opted in for his $28.4 million player option. He's only under contract for one more year, at which point Avdija would be in line to take over as the starting 3.

Williams has been one of the bigger risers in this year's draft class.

The 19-year-old averaged 9.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in his only season with the Seminoles. He was a 45.9 percent shooter and hit 32.0 percent of his three-pointers.

At 6'8" and 225 pounds, it's easy to envision Williams taking over for Porter on the Bulls and operating as a small-ball 4 in place of the bigger Lauri Markkanen (7'0").
