The number 11 was good for a moon landing; not so much for the Bulls achieving the impossible Sunday in the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery. That’s because the Bulls based on their 39-43 regular season record had the No. 11 pre-lottery position. Their hope was shooting for the moon, like Apollo 11 did successfully in 1969, in this year’s NBA Draft. But after the smoke cleared, the Bulls remained at No. 11 for the June player dispersal following the Draft Lottery. Eleven is a prime number, thus divisible by itself and one. Though it wasn’t this time for the Bulls in their 11th hour hope to be in position to acquire an elite talent in this year’s draft. The number 11 often is associated with veterans because of the 11/11 Veteran’s Day to commemorate the end of World War 1.
