Yes ladies and gentlemen, the NBA draft is in six days. Come June 26th, NBA fans will be standing on line at 5 in the morning just to get a glimpse at what their favorite NBA franchise will do that night. So what will the Bulls do? How will they solidify the team that had a great playoff run? A playoff run that lasted one round...
Well, word is the Bulls want a point guard. Yeah, you read that right, a point guard. This is not punishment for Derrick Rose not taking his own SAT. It's actually a reward for him. The Bulls would like to play Rose off the ball more which is why they've worked out Syracuse's Johnny Flynn and Louisville's Terrence Williams. This is a weird concept for me to grasp since the Bulls still lack a legit post presence. Dejuan Blair would be great to pick up at 16. If he's there take him, right?
Well yes and no. The one person I don't think the Bulls can pass up on is THAT MAN. UNC's Tyler Hasbrough had doubters. He had haters. He also has a national championship, a college degree, and a National Player of the Year award. Now he has the hottest name in the draft. His workout impressed the Bulls. But it also impressed the Nets. The Nets pick at 11. The Bulls pick at 16 (and 26, but who's counting). So Bulls fans, lets hope the Nets pass up and the Bulls can solidify their already decent frontcourt.
But if he's not there, we can't mope. Terrence Williams can be a good fit so can Ohio State's BJ Mullens. Rumor has it, the Bulls have a promise to Mullens. John Paxson is not dumb (ahem, Mike D'Antoni promising Danilo Gallinari, ahem) anymore. Let's just see where this goes. Let's also pray that Ben Gordon to Detroit thing is also a rumor. That would be just...sad.
