As the NBA Finals kicks off on Thursday, the Chicago Bulls are looking towards the offseason with the NBA draft and free agency right around the corner.
On Wednesday, the Bulls conducted pre-draft workouts, that included Ohio State junior forward EJ Liddell.
The Illinois-native posted a photo on his Instagram story of a Bulls practice jersey just as he did on Tuesday when working out for the Denver Nuggets.
Looks like Illinois native and former Buckeye EJ Liddell is in for a workout today.
Projected by most to go in the mid-to-late first round.

In his junior season, Liddell averaged 19.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 blocks per game, helping lead the Buckeyes to a 20-12 record, ultimately losing to the No. 2 seed Villanova Wildcats in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Liddell would provide the Bulls a seasoned rookie who can come in and play immediately in a role off the bench. Whether it’s making smart, timely plays on the offensive side of the ball or locking up and protecting the rim on the defensive end, Liddell will be able to contribute on day one as a mid-to-late first-round draft pick.
