That was a Rick joke. Although turner slightly redeemed himself towards the end, it's completely obvious John wall is a much more talented NBA player. Hopefully he doesn't go the route of agent zero or Stevie franchise

Rick will probably know if this applies to that guy, but usually when profiling prospects if one of his Strengths is "playing both guard spots" it means he can't play either effectively. Especially if it's not a russel Westbrook-type prospect.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

i thought of that after i posted but i think it's disappointing how little impact he had in his first year. i'd like to see him improve like he did down the stretch...he'll have to work on some things. like...everything.

One of the mock drafts I looked at recently had the Bulls taking Butler guard Shelvin Mack. His NBA comparison: Ben Gordon.

NBA Comparison: Ben Gordon

Strengths: Instant offense type of shooter/scorer at the lead guard position …Very composed. Always on balance, never seems to rush things. Good pace to his game. Plays smart, values the basketball … Aggressive scorer with a crafty offensive game. Really knows how to create shots and has a strong one on one game. Good shot selection … Can knock opponents off balance and uses hesitation moves extremely well to create shots with opponents falling off balance and out of his way … Strong jump shooter and mid-range game with a strong ability to create shots for himself off the dribble … Beautiful shooting motion with excellent lift, a smooth, quick release and excellent overall form … Has the physique of an NBA linebacker with huge shoulders and a barrel chest and uses his excellent body strength to his advantage … Great strength allows him to absorb contact and finish around the rim … Strength also gives him deep range and the ability to shoot with the same accuracy late in games … Equally adept at spotting up or pulling up for shots off the dribble ... Huge wingspan allows him to finish at the rim and play bigger than 6’2 … Handles the ball extremely well. A strong defender that anticipates well and uses his strength to wear down and frustrate smaller guards … Strong on the break ... Has good speed when he gets a head of steam. Solid decision maker in transition …

Weaknesses: Solid athlete though nothing extraordinary. Lacks tremendous leaping ability … Lacks great blow by speed off the dribble … More of a scorer than a true point guard. Was not responsible for being the team’s primary point guard (Ronald Nored) … Vision and passing ability are below average for a point guard … Showing that he can be more of a full time lead guard and is capable of running the show would increase his value … Should look to increase his a/to ratio (1.46)… Playing at a mid-major, it’s tougher to prove his talent on a consistent basis … A year old for his class as he will turn 22 before the 2011 draft ... Could be on a long learning curve at the next level due to his inexperience playing the PG position, which could result in being traded a few times before finding his game (ala Chauncey Billups)

Notes: The answer to the puzzle of Butler's 2010 NCAA tourney success ... Showed that he’s capable of hanging with the NCAA elite helping Gordon Hayward and Butler reach the title game with an impressive performance in the NCAA tourney … Is sure to take on a much bigger role in the offense with Hayward no longer on the team … A player that scouts are high on. Projected as a late first/early second round pick …

So do you think Mack has a future in the NBA?

K.C. Johnson on Bulls draft

Out of all of those players mentioned in the article, I think I'd like them to take Justin Harper.
Does anyone have a link of who the Bulls have worked out?

And I pray that this is the last time Vince Carter will be mentioned with the Bulls.

rpb is wrong. Phil McCracken is useful.

RPB is right. You suck.

And Kanter has the best workouts of anyone. Just like Milicic, not far from Thabeet. But I don't think he'll be that bad.

Isn't Kanter working out against a chair in his workouts? I thought the last questions marks were who he really battled in his workout and the fact that he has pretty much sat the last two years were big question marks.

I just go by actual experts who attend the combine. Chad ford's job 365 days a year is to judge amateur's prospects in the NBA. Him and a few others have said just based on all the physical attributes and yeah the hilarious chair workouts made famous by Yi, he would be the #1 pick. But the Yi, Darko, Thabeet, etc makes many doubtful for the same reasons you suggested. Many trust live game film over crossing over a chair on an empty court.

I definitely don't know much about foreign prospects, but from everything I've seen and read whoever gets Motiejunas has the best chance of a diamond in the rough. If the Bulls cant get an offensively skilled 2 I agree with you that projects are the way to go this year

Weaknesses: Lacks great blow

Mack couldn't have played in the League 30 years ago...

I wouldn't want Selby at all. Will he be any different than Watson?

If JJJ from Purdue, Trey Thompkins or Kyle Singler are around I'd look at all of them in those two spots also. I'm pretty sure Johnson won't make it past Boston or Dallas at 25 and 26 though.
