Summary
The Chicago Bulls just might have found their missing piece in Henri Veesaar, a towering 6-foot-11 center with a 7-foot-2 wingspan who’s quietly exploding on the scene at UNC. Averaging 17 points and nearly 9 rebounds while earning Second Team All-ACC honors, Veesaar combines elite shooting (60% FG), surprising handles, and smart passing for his size — all while showing flashes of rim protection. Though he needs to bulk up, his fundamentals, mobility, and defensive versatility make him a potential offensive anchor and rim protector. With Chicago holding mid-first to early-second round picks, Veesaar could be the perfect fit to unlock their offense and finally give them the defensive backbone they’ve lacked.
