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.

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.
