noah has completely changed since coming into the league. he knows and follows the rules now, he gives more effort then is possible every single night every single 48, and he has put so much time in the weightroom it almost makes you think 'steroids'. the only thing he has kept from his college days is that 'i fukk all yall' attitude, which is key. old stormin norm would shed tears of joy over joakim... he would have him as sole team captain. if banks opened on sundays, it would be just for joakim. if trees turned their leaves to let sunshine pass by, it would be to shed upon joakim. if women from rockford couldn't be confused with saturated fat rakkons, it would be because of joakim. the lord first made himself, then he made joakim, then they both made earth and everything that spins around it. end of everything. joakim noah.

I actually liked Noah, especially when he ripped the team the first week of his rookie season for being spineless chumps. Ideally you don't fight with assistant coaches, but I guess if Vinnie and Pax can do it, maybe it's accepted in the Bulls lockerroom. It's not like there was anyone they passed on I thought would be that great, but I certainly never thought he'd be as good as he was this year. Do it again and I'll be really impressed.

There were some bad comments here about Gibson on draft day. Not sure if this has been posted, but he made the first rookie team. Not bad.

Same for James Johnson - showed signs of development towards the end of the season and would like nice coming off the bench as an energy guy but should not see the starting lineup.

I must have missed these games...

gibson was all nba rookie first team. no doubt about it.

Gibson to me has the bigger upside. He has more of rounded game. Noah has suprised me too and every team needs a scrapper. I just dont know if Noah and Gibson with Rose are enough to bring a top rated free agent.

I think I know the answer.
