If the Chicago Bulls select North Carolina's Caleb Wilson at No. 4 overall, who should they pick with their second first-rounder at No. 15 overall?

As the NBA Draft nears, a consensus seems to be emerging at the top of the draft. BYU's AJ Dybantsa is the favorite to go No. 1 overall to the Wizards, followed by Kansas' Darryn Peterson to the Jazz at No. 2, Duke's Cameron Boozer to the Grizzlies at No. 3 and North Carolina's Caleb Wilson to the Bulls at No. 4.

The draft truly starts with the Los Angeles Clippers at No. 5 overall, but the Bulls won't be done for the day even after making their first top-four selection since 2020. Thanks to the Portland Trail Blazers and a 2021 trade that sent Lauri Markkanen to Cleveland, Chicago also owns the No. 15 overall pick in this month's NBA Draft.

Unlike Wilson, the player the Bulls will select 15th is much less of a shoo-in. Baylor guard Cameron Carr is, however, emerging as a frontrunner to fit with Chicago's long-term vision of the future. The 6-foot-5 redshirt sophomore has a 7-foot wingspan and could be an excellent scorer to pair with Josh Giddey in the backcourt.

In 34 games with the Bears last season, Carr averaged 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals per game while shooting 49.4% overall, 37.4% from deep and 80.1% from the line. The big downside? After spending two seasons at Tennessee and one in Waco, Carr is already 21 years old and will turn 22 in November.

Will Carr be a Bull on June 25? Here's who draft analysts across the basketball world have Chicago selecting at No. 15 overall:

ESPN: G Cameron Carr (Baylor)

"Carr, ESPN's highest-ranked player to participate in scrimmages last week, was unsurprisingly the biggest winner of the combine, turning in a memorable showing with 30 points and six 3-pointers in one game. His type of profile tends to rise in the predraft process, and he backed that up with his physical testing, measuring with a plus-6¼ wingspan and recording a 42.5-inch max vertical. His coveted profile of athletic traits and 3-point shooting could see him come off the board in the teens."

Bleacher Report: C Jayden Quaintance (Kentucky)

"You'd have to think new Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham has noticed this club's glaring void at center. You might also assume that, given his affinity for "SLAP: Size, length, athleticism and physicality," he might also be a big fan of Quaintance, a springy center with a 7'5.25" wingspan and outrageous mobility for his size. He is, to be clear, a question mark after having his college career sidetracked by a major knee injury, but his healthy version could make him a perennial All-Defensive candidate and impact rim-runner."

Yahoo! Sports: G Cameron Carr (Baylor)

"After selecting Wilson in the lottery, the Bulls can turn toward finding a wing to support their core now. Carr led Baylor in scoring, shot nearly 40% from 3 on high volume, and looked like a 3-and-D role player who also has blossoming skills off the dribble. With NBA genes in his blood, as the son of former player Chris Carr, Cameron has the skills to make it in the NBA. At 184 pounds, he's going to get introduced to the league’s physicality in a way college basketball never did. But he got off to a sensational start by dropping 30 points in the first scrimmage of the Combine, which sources around the league agree was a performance that helps increase his chances of ending up in the lottery."

CBS Sports: G Cameron Carr (Baylor)

"After playing just 41 minutes total last season at Tennessee, Carr transferred to Baylor, where he blossomed into the Bears' leading scorer. He averaged 18.9 points on 49.4/37.4/80.1 shooting splits. His offensive upside is worth the swing here for Chicago. It also wouldn't be surprising if he went in the mid- to late teens."

SB Nation: Brayden Burries (Arizona)

"I’d prefer Morez Johnson or possibly Jayden Quaintance here, but both are off the board in this mock. Burries will likely be long gone by the time Chicago comes on the clock at No. 15, but he would add two-way physicality to the backcourt with good shooting projection. I don’t think Burries has the shot-creation or the playmaking to be in an on-ball role that would give him star upside, but he checks a lot of boxes as a role player. He’s a player who feels like he’s pretty good everywhere but without a signature skill to fall back on."
