The Bulls chose the domestic star in France. He may be the inside player with the highest ceiling this year?

In this year's NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls, who held the 12th pick in the first round, selected Noa Essengue, a French domestic player who previously played for the Bundesliga team Ulm.

Esenger was born in December 2006 and is 18 years old. He is an inside potential stock with excellent physical talent and athletic ability. In the European arena this season, Essenger made a total of 60 appearances in all competitions, averaging 22.8 minutes, averaging 10.7 points, 5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 52.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 27.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 70.7%. Being able to get stable playing time in the Bundesliga powerhouses and play good data, providing certain support to the team on both offense and defense is also a pretty good thing for the youngest player in this year's NBA draft.

From the perspective of characteristics, Esenger is an inside player with excellent athletic ability. He has good scoring ability at the basket and low-post offensive ability on the offensive end. His skills are still good. He also has a certain ability to move without the ball. He is still able to take on a lot of responsibilities on the offensive end. Esenger has a strong ability to make fouls, and he seems to have the opportunity to develop some shooting ability. Essenger can also take on certain responsibilities on the defensive end, and he can also cause some trouble for his opponents through his athletic ability advantages. Moreover, he is full of energy on the court, and he is absolutely unquestionable in terms of motivation. However, Esenger's stability in outside shooting still has a lot of room for improvement. As an inside player, he is not very good at rebound protection, and he also needs to do better in this regard.

It is no exaggeration to say that Esenger may be the player with the highest ceiling among this rookies, but it is also an unknown number of what kind of achievements he can achieve, or he may also be the player with the highest uncertainty among these inside rookies. For the Bulls, since they have chosen Essenger with a lottery draw instead of the relatively safer Derik Queen and Thomas Sorber, it also shows that they have high hopes for Essenger. We also have reason to believe that in the following offseason, the Bulls will find a way to deal with the team's starting center Nikola Vucevic and provide Essenger with enough playing time or even a stable starting position. Next, we can also see how Esenger will perform next season, and can he realize his talent and become a top inside player in the future?
