I guess I kind of like this guy, but how often do 2nd rounders even make the team. Dude can shoot the lights out. Looks slow and a little weak though.

Nice Victory Auto Wreckers stubly stache. I wouldn't have expected anything less from Florida.

The guy does look like a great shooter.

Yeah he can fill it up. Both draft picks can.

One of the comparisons was the Bulls drafted in the Spurs mold with getting Snell/Leonard and Murphy/Bonner.

I think that is a pretty good comparison and if they could get close to that it would be a huge help.

I'm no expert but his release looks a little deliberate. I think he'd need to quicken that up some.

Gar was on M&H and compared him to Matt Bonner... I guess because he can shoot & is white....? the NBA could probably get rid of the 2nd round.... found this article looking at the last 10 years (dated in 2012)... a couple solid players... but given there have been 300 2nd round picks over the last 10 years and your 10th best is ramon sessions... I wouldn't hold out much hope... oh and check out the best 2nd rounder int he last 10 years


10. Ramon Sessions - Drafted 2007, 56th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks. Sessions is still trying to find his full-time starting gig, which the Lakers opportunity might finally provide. Despite a career average of just 25 MPG, the explosive Sessions is still posting career averages of 11.0 PPG, 2.4 RPG, and 4.9 APG.

9. Anderson Varejao - Drafted 2004, 30th overall by the Orlando Magic. The Brazilian big man does three things extremely well - rebound, hit high percentage shots, and have crazy insane hair. In 2011 Varejao averaged 9.1 PPG on 52.8% FG's, 9.7 RPG, and 1.2 BPG. In 25 injury-plagued games in 2012, Varejao has averaged 10.8 PPG and 11.5 RPG. Every team would be better with a springy-haired Brazilian patrolling the pain, and Anderson Varejao is the best ever.

8. Luis Scola - Drafted 2002, 55th overall by the San Antonio Spurs. Speaking of international hair issues…it's Luis Scola! Scola has developed into one of the better low post scorers in the NBA, resulting in a 14.4 career scoring average on 51.1% field goals. Scola is also a solid rebounder with a career 7.8 RPG average, though his defense leaves as much to be desired as his oily soccer hair.

7. Marcus Thornton - Drafted 2009, 43rd overall by the Miami Heat. Thornton can flat out ball, dropping 18.6 PPG along with 3.6 RPG, 2.1 APG, and 1.5 SPG this year with the Sacramento Kings. In his third NBA season Thornton is blossoming into one of the more dangerous perimeter players in the league.

6. Mo Williams - Drafted 2003, 47th overall by the Utah Jazz. Williams received an All-Star selection in 2009 when he averaged a career-high 17.8 PPG in Cleveland. Throughout his nine year NBA career Williams has averaged 13.9 PPG, 3.0 RPG, and 4.9 APG. Williams lit up the league from three-point range in 2009 (43.6%) and 2010 (42.9%) and is still a deadly threat from beyond the arc.

5. Marcin Gortat - Drafted 2005, 57th overall by the Phoenix Suns. After toiling in relative obscurity in Orlando for three-plus years, Gortat won the NBA team lottery by pairing up with Steve Nash in 2011 and magically dropping 13.0 PPG on 56.3% shooting with 9.3 RPG in 55 games in Phoenix. In 2012, Gortat has been even better, scoring 16.0 PPG, 10.1 RPG, and 1.5 BPG this season. The Nash effect always inflates stats, but Gortat is legit.

4. Paul Millsap - Drafted 2006, 47th overall by the Utah Jazz. Millsap had a breakout year in 2011 by averaging 17.3 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1.4 SPG and shooting 53.1% from the floor. His 2012 has been just as good, and Millsap looks to be a an all-around force in the league for years to come. And unlike Gortat, Millsap is putting up huge numbers without a consistent point guard setting the table in Utah.


3. Monta Ellis - Drafted 2005, 40th overall by the Golden State Warriors. Ellis was named the NBA's Most Improved Player in 2007, his second year in the league, when he exploded for 16.5 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 4.1 APG, and 1.7 SPG with the Warriors. Ellis finished sixth in the league in PPG in 2010 (25.5) and eighth in 2011 (24.1). Ellis is also one of the league's best in steals, finishing among the NBA's Top-10 in steals in 2007, 2010, and 2011. While his individual stats are stellar, Ellis has yet to prove he can lead a team on a playoff run.

2. Marc Gasol - Drafted 2007, 48th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers. Gasol made his first All-Star team in 2012 and has developed into one of the best true Centers in the NBA. Now in his fourth NBA season, the beefy 7'1" Spaniard is averaging 15.8 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 3.0 APG, and 2.0 BPG this year with the Memphis Grizzlies and has proven to be a big man a winning team can build around.

1. Carlos Boozer - Drafted 2002, 34th overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ten years into his career and Boozer is still solid but not as dominant as he was a few years back. With Boozer mostly making news these day about his spray-on hair instead of his game, it is easy to forget he finished among the NBA's Top-10 in total rebounds in 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2010. Boozer has also been a great scorer, topping the 20 PPG mark in 2007 and 2008 in Utah. Boozer's career averages of 17.1 PPG on 53.7% FG's, 10.0 RPG, and 2.4 APG is the Holy Grail for second round draft picks. While Boozer's hair may be a disaster, his game has set a standard for all other late round picks to follow.

I think all NBA/Bull fans understand the situation. No one is saying he is going to contribute or make an impact. He was as good of a pick as they could get in the 2nd round.

How is Carlos Boozer ranked higher than Marc Gasol?

on the flip side, he is 6'10". It's difficult to block a 20 foot jumpshot on someone that tall

He brings the ball below his waist to load up his shot. I think he'd need to keep his hands higher to release.

While I dont agree with that, it is a very different shot.

I am fine with keeping him for a year and working with the guy. Mike Miller became something, no reason this kid cant.
