<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Chicago Promise to Douby Two weeks ago NBADraft.net reported that Quincy Douby likely had a first round promise from a Midwest team. According to contacts, the rumored Midwest team with a promise to Douby is the Chicago Bulls. Chicago coach Scott Skiles has the same agent as Douby and the Bulls appear intent upon adding Douby to their backcourt of Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich and Chris Duhon. After winning the second pick in the draft lottery, the Bulls are assured of nabbing one of the top bigmen in the draft. With LaMarcus Aldridge likely to go first overall, the Bulls will select between Andrea Bargnani and Tyrus Thomas, allowing them to go small with their second pick. Douby is similar to Gordon in that he is more of a scoring small guard. Should the Bulls end up making a blockbuster deal including Gordon for Kevin Garnett, Douby would be able to give the team a similar type of player. Toronto Likely to Trade Down Just a week after winning the draft lottery, sources indicate that Toronto general manager Brian Colangelo is looking to move the top overall selection to a team in the 5-10 range. Two players that the Raptors will target in that area are UConn PG Marcus Williams and Washington SG Brandon Roy. With the team's strength in the front court with Chris Bosh and Charlie Villanueva, a bigman such as Lamarcus Aldridge or Italian Andrea Bargnani make less sense. Also factoring into the equation is the fact that this is not a great draft to have the top overall selection, so a team such as Toronto could add a talented piece (veteran player) through trade and pick up a player in the mid lotto area who could end up just as good as the top pick in the long run. With a brand new (GM) job in Toronto, Colangelo has the flexibility to make any number of moves, and it looks likely that they will be the first team since the Boston Celtics traded the top overall selection to the Golden State Warriors in 1980. Lamarcus Aldridge appears to be the strongest candidate to go first for a team that moves into that position.</div> I dont think the Bulls need another small guard even though Douby is a good player. But Toronto trading down for Williams/Roy is a good idea.

I would love to see a Rutgers player with my favorite team. I feel if we use Gordon to trade for Garnett, we would not lose that much in getting Douby. Also keep in mind he didn't start playing orginized ball until his junior year of high school, so he will definitly improve.
Man this year.. Anyone can get drafted at #1.. some people say bargnani, gay, morrison, williams, roy, and some say aldridge!.. this year it dont matter if u habve the 1st or 7th pick because the players that are likely to get draft 1-7 are all about the same so it dont really matter
