Shoud I be excited? I know very little about these guys. I thought that Blair at 26 was the good pick, even if he doesn't have ACLs. |

I also would have taken Ellington or Calathes. |

taj looks like a non thug version of tyrus thomas that has a solid work ethic. I know nothing about the other guy. |

Tyrus Thomas is a thug? |

In my opinion, Blake Griffin, Ricky Rubio(in a few years), Stephen Curry and Jeff Teague are the only people from this draft that will be notable NBA players. |

With the deterioration of the centers in the NBA, I think stockpiling athletic power forwards is the way to go. I am not up on the two men the Bulls took but I agree with the theory. But boy this draft was all about the PG. Too bad we couldn't get one. Maybe we can draft with Minnesota? |

Well that's obvious considering Johnson isn't a power forward. At 6'8", he can possibly play power forward, depending on the matchup. He's not even 6'8, he's 6'7 1/2. He's closer to being a shooting guard size than a PF. The only reason he even looks like PF is because he's fat. Great pick Pax! |

Why is it that the 6'6" DeJuan Blair was rated the best rebounder in the draft? Way too much is made about stats and size. I prefer guys that can play the game. |

Big red flags are attitude, practice performance and IQ factors. Look at Tyrus Thomas - he's got the skills and the physique, but he seems deficient in smarts and bringing his game every night. I was scared to death that the Bulls were going to pick the Ohio State center. Way too many question marks. Desire can't be coached. |

Only in the NBA could multiple teams fight over a average player who was the third best player on his own college team. If Pax loves winners, and the Bulls have built a team by picking winners, then when will they start winning? and why is it that the best player on the team did not win in college? |

Stephen Curry was a fun guy to watch in college. He will not be in the NBA. 6'3" guards...yeah. No. |
