Is there anyone the Bulls might draft with their picks that could actually come in and help this team?

Looking over the list, it seems like a big pile of crap.

There have been various rumors they like White Jesus from UNC.

The mock draft on CNNSI shows Earl Clark from Louisville..I've also heard White Jesus and Luke Harongody(sp?) from Notre Dame...


It is all bad though, real bad.

The upcoming NBA Draft isn't supposed to be real good, other than the likely #1, Oklahoma's Blake Griffin going to the L.A. Clippers, and you know those guys will find a way to screw it up!

If we take Tyler I'd be pissed. The only player we can realistically have a chance at taking that I would like is DeJuan Blair. I'll be indifferent to any other pick, and would specifically dislike the pick of Hansborough.

Please elaborate. How will they "screw it up?" They'll draft him at #1 and that'll be that.

The Clippers likely will sign him if drafted, but will find a way to let him go...That's what they always tend to do with #1 picks.

He's really the only one left at that point with All Star potential, although I readily admit that he is more likely a total bust than an All Star.

He's not tall, but its been shown time and again that wingspan and energy are more important factors in rebounding. I think he has the tools to average 10 rpg if motivated. I think he can learn to score in the post. He's insurance if we dont keep Tyrus. In a weak draft you have to find silver linings.

I dont consider occasionally jumping 5 feet in the air to make an incredible block playing with energy. Noah plays with energy. Thomas is one of the laziest players on our team, also evidenced by his willingness to settle for jumpers instead of attacking the basket. If he played hard consistently and within 10 feet of the basket I dont see how he wouldnt average 15-10 with 2.5 bpg and 1.5 spg a game with consistent minutes. I hate how he plays. What a waste of talent.

Iam all for drafting white Jesus.

The kids got heart, and brings his lunch pail with him.

I could see him being a 10/10 guy on this team, not even bringimng up his heart, dedication, and courage.

Psycho T is an interesting case. He was an excellent college player but everybody said that his game wouldn't translate to the pros. Then he had better than expected combine numbers, and his stock flew up (Chad Ford's mock draft shows him going 11 to NJ). He's probably somewhere in between.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing him on the Bulls. Picking at 16 in this draft, I don't think they can expect anything more than a fringe rotation guy, which I think he can be. If him and Blair are still available, I'd probably still take Blair, but not by leaps and bounds.

I don't see them keeping both picks, though. They don't need to add two guaranteed deals to this team. At least one, if not both of these picks will be dealt in one way or another.

Hanbrough can be a solid end of the rotation type of player. Nothing wrong with that. And in this draft, which may be one of the worst of all time, getting a solid end of the rotation wouldn't be a bad thing.

If it matters how solid the end of your rotation is, that means you have a bad team.

I'm starting to come around to this way of thinking. I saw his combine number, and he's bigger and more athletic than people seem to think. There's no questioning his will to win or effort. He's shown he has an unusual talent to put the ball in the basket.

I think he could give you a lot coming off the bench.

That's not true at all. So you're saying that any team with a good second unit is a bad team? That might be one of the dumbest comments I've ever read on a message board.

More than likely, they won't get much help, but there's a chance they can add a bench player to the mix, add some depth. Remember, this team played only 7 or 8 guys down the stretch last season.

I'd be excited. I think he is the most underrated player in the draft. That's amazing considering everything he accomplished in college.


At #28, I would have no complaints if they take him.

Would be surprised if he fell that far, he has great upside, length and can play the 3 or 4. Would like that pick.
