Hannes Steinbach projected to join Chicago Bulls in NBA mock draft

Hannes Steinbach, a former star from the University of Washington, is projected to be selected by the Chicago Bulls with the No. 15 overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft on June 23. The announcement comes from ESPN's Jeremy Woo, who noted Steinbach's strong performance during the NBA Draft Combine, where he measured 6'10.25 and demonstrated potential as a center. Steinbach, who averaged 18.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game in his only season at Washington, has attracted interest in the back half of the lottery. Chicago, having recently traded center Nikola Vucevic, is looking for rebounding help, and Steinbach's abilities have earned him praise as an ideal fit for the team.
