They should have some success getting the players they want, since spots on their summer-league squad are wide open. Center Jared Reiner is the only player from last year?s roster expected to play in the Las Vegas summer league and the Bulls added no draft picks Tuesday. The Bulls were hoping to get Charlotte?s Eddie Basden, Michigan State?s Alan Anderson, Iowa State?s Jared Homan, along with Will Bynum and Luke Schenscher from Georgia Tech to attend their rookie-free agent camp that begins Saturday. According to an overseas report, Chinese center Mengke Bateer is planning to be on the Bulls? summer squad.</div> Source
Eddie Basden, as well as Alan Anderson are two players I hope we bring in, and consider adding to our roster both were projected to go late in the NBA draft, and Eddie Basden was a guy the Bulls hoped to trade into the draft to take. Alan Anderson should have been drafted as well it was a shame to see a player with his exceptional talents go undrafted being passed up for high schoolers, and players who should not have even been in the draft. Other options we have are to go out, and get Jawad Williams on our summer league team as well as players like Dwayne Jones if he does not go back to college. He will be a good young man to take some minutes off Antonio Davis, and make him into more of a mentor, lasts season we relied on him and Othella Harrington to many times last season. I am surprised we are not sending some of our rookies from last season to the summer leagues this year. I think guys like Frank Williams, Chris Duhon, and others from our current roster should seek to play a little in summer league polish up their skills a tad.
