So this is how they fared in the draft:
1st pick - Derrick Rose (PG)
Derrick Rose is a no brainer if you ask me... he is wat Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd and even Steve Nash is to their respective teams. A 6'3 PG who can initiate offense and fast break, penetrate and finish, assist and even play defense. His only suspect is his shooting consistency which will come on with age. His entry into the team will make atheletic forwards like Noah, T Thomas and even Loul Deng so much better !!
Now that he is on board, one of the trio of Larry Hughes, B Gordon and Kirk Hinrich might be gone by the new season. Personally, I would like to see the first 2 gone... haha Hughes is an absolute chucker of the bball and Gordon just isnt a good fit to the team (he had contract issues of asking more than he is worth too !!). Oh well we could only trust Pax abt it..
36th pick - Omer Asik (C)
Never heard of this guy before the draft ended. Well, seems like Pax is quite high on this guy such that he trade 3 second round picks for his rights. He wont be joining the team until in 2 yrs time when his contract in Turkey expires... so we shall see... He seems to like to play a back-to-the basket game, which means he should have sound post moves for a center. However, he does need to bulk up more to stand the vigors of the NBA...
Personally, I think it's a good move as the roster is so young now... no space for another budding youngster. Besides, there r less obligations for a second round pick... so we shall see.

An overall excellent draft made by the Bulls.
Go Bulls !!
