Chicago Bulls Rumors
Duncan Robinson has said he is willing to go overseas to continue his basketball career, but he is giving the NBA his best shot. The Los Angeles Lakers’ official Twitter account announced Monday night that Robinson would be among six players brought in for a workout on Tuesday. MLive has learned that Robinson already participated in workouts for Miami and Boston and will have another, with Chicago, on Saturday.

Adam Zagoria: PG @Anfernee Simons of @IMGAcademy worked out for the Chicago Bulls today, per source. He also had a Pro Day before the Combine and 20 NBA teams attended. Projected No. 21 to Utah by @Jonathan Givony
The difficulty is finding a team willing to trade down at a slot where Porter might be available. The teams picking from nos. 4 to 7āMemphis, Dallas, Orlando, and Chicagoācould all use more than one player to fix their rosters. But itās unclear if any of them would be willing to move from the middle of the lottery to the back. In fact, Iāve been told that Memphis, despite a recent report, isnāt actively looking to trade down and that itās likely to stay at no. 4. Things can change between now and the draft, but for now the prospects most closely connected to Memphis are big men: Michigan Stateās Jaren Jackson Jr. and Dukeās Marvin Bagley III. It was also the only team in the top eight to not request a meeting with Mo Bamba.
Texas A&M junior center Tyler Davis is expected to remain in the NBA Draft even though heās not projected to get drafted. Sources say he will sign with an agent and attempt to make an NBA team if heās not drafted. Otherwise, he could land overseas. Davis met last week with agents in Chicago during the NBA Draft Combine.
