The Bulls experienced more heartbreak at the NBA Draft Lottery on Monday night just like they did back in 1979.

The 19-year-old wing would give the Chicago Bulls some much-needed size, scoring and defense while also having a high ceiling.

Regardless of the speculation, the result is clear. Dallas now gets to draft Cooper Flagg, a versatile, elite prospect expected to be the cornerstone of their next era. The Bulls, one coin flip and one half-court shot away, are left to wonder what could have been.

A random drawing gave the Dallas Mavericks 0.1 percent chance more than the Bulls to land the winning ping-pong ball numbers in the lottery.

As the odds expected, the Bulls ended up with the 12th pick after the NBA Draft lottery Monday night. ‘‘We’re going to look at everything,’’ Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas said. ‘‘Everything is on the table.’’ Here’s an early look at who might go where in the NBA Draft on June 25.

Scottie noted how European players had achieved little to no success in the NBA. Back then, Vlade Divac, Detlef Schrempf, and Drazen Petrovic were well-known European ballers. They were good studs but were not considered superstars.

The Bulls, who once hit the jackpot in the NBA Draft Lottery, are looking at another 30-something-win season and praying for good fortune.

The Chicago Bulls are expected to be one of the many teams that will be on the phone this summer trying to land a big. Zion Williamson, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Nikola Vucevic could be trade targets in the offseason.
