The Chicago Bulls are "trying hard" to move up in Thursday's draft in an effort to select Doug McDermott or Nik Stauskas, Jonathan Givony of Draft Express reports.
Chicago trying hard to package picks 16 and 19 and move up to the 9-11 range. Seem to be targeting Doug McDermott or Nik Stauskas there.

This comes a week after Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reported that the Bulls were looking to move their two first-round picks to acquire a veteran scorer or select a young wing player with scoring potential.
The Charlotte Hornets, who own the No. 9 overall pick, have reportedly zeroed in on McDermott and Stauskas as well.
