AK is a goof. Here's a couple quotes from his presser (taken from twitter).
[Bulls are in a] “transitional phase and there’s more to be done” but (AK) also believes Bulls can still make playoff run.
"There's different structures that you can try to get to a championship. There's 2-3 star players and then a lot of role players or you can build it as 9-10 very good players." AK says their building toward the latter model.
So sounds like he's happy drafting in the 8-12 range every year and getting very good players. Guess he doesn't want the burden of star players????????
