00:00And at the 12th overall pick, as we hit the break,
00:03the Chicago Bulls were now on the clock.
00:05And now that pick is officially in.
00:08The Bulls select from France, who plays his pro ball in Germany,
00:13Noah Essenge, with the 12th overall selection tonight in the 2025 NBA draft.
00:20JY, we have talked about the draft odds profile around Essenge.
00:24Apparently, the Raptors were infatuated with him in the pre-draft process,
00:28but they went other areas.
00:30Colin Murray Boyles was their pick at ninth overall.
00:33From the prospect that we haven't seen play collegiately,
00:37in fact, plays professionally in Germany,
00:40what is he now going to bring to the NBA?
00:46Give him another year that he could develop.
00:48When you look at Noah, about 6'9", 194 pounds, he's got to put on some weight,
00:52which you have to do a lot of times with Europeans.
00:54But position versatility, long, bouncy, athletic,
00:57you know, has a long wingspan.
01:00So can he translate for this young team with the Bulls,
01:03with Giddey, with Bozellus?
01:05Maybe not Bozellus, Essenge, you know,
01:08frontcourt could be something you can watch for in the future.
01:11But to me, this is more of a guy that I think
01:13is going to wait and try and develop.
01:16Would it be shocking to let him stay overseas for another year?
01:19I think he's going to stay overseas for another year.
