This year's draft is considered one of the deepest of the decade (other than Lebron's that year). Particularly, its a 'big-man' draft where the top picks are littered with Power forwards and Centers.
So who did the Bulls draft this yr round ? They had the 9th pick (a gift from NY Knicks) , 49 and 51 pick. And these are the rookies they picked :
9th - Joakim Noah C 7'0
A 7 footer PF/C who can run the floor, pass and rebound well. But seems like analysts conclude he fits the system of the Bulls but he does not have a develped post game yet to boost Bull's chances of an NBA championship. Nevertheless, a tenacious kinda player that the fans would really love.
49th - Aron Gray C 7'0
A skilled 7 footer who can do a little of everything at Center. However, his footwork and atheletism often disappoint. A decent chance to stay with the team after the Summer Leagues considering Bull's need for a big post player.
51st - JamesOn Curry SG 6'3
Weird pick by the Bulls, considering they already have an undersized SG in B Gordon. Should really have gotten a foreigner and let the fellow stay in his own league for a few yrs before coming to the NBA. For all I know, this Curry fellow seems to have an attitude problem and lotsa baggage.... hmmm... definitely a gonna after the Summer Leagues... On a side note... he looks a little like YeKai... haha~
The summary of the Lottery(1st to 14th) picks:
| 1 | Portland | Greg Oden - C |
| 2 | Seattle | Kevin Durant - SF |
| 3 | Atlanta | Al Horford - PF |
| 4 | Memphis | Mike Conley - PG |
| 5 | Boston | Jeff Green - SF |
| 6 | Milwaukee | Yi Jianlian - PF |
| 7 | Minnesota | Corey Brewer - SG |
| 8 | Charlotte | Brandan Wright - PF |
| 9 | Chicago | Joakim Noah - PF |
| 10 | Sacramento | Spencer Hawes - C |
| 11 | Atlanta | Acie Law - PG |
| 12 | Philadelphia | Thaddeus Young - SF |
| 13 | New Orleans | Julian Wright - SF |
| 14 | Los Angeles | Al Thornton - SF |
Oden and Durant will be the next Ewing and Norwitzki i think... as for the rest of the picks... not many superstars but more like role players....
An okay draft for the Bulls... but i tot they should have traded the 9th pick for someone like Paul Gasol(Memphis Grizziles) or something. Well, see wat Paxson's gonna do this summer yeah...
Go Bulls !!!
