Your dad likes Psycho T or Dickie V? I don't mind Tyler... on the Bulls he'd make some sense. On the Pacers... I just really wanted to see them grab Lawson, who I think is gonna really kick ass.
We pick again at 26 anyone want to throw a name out there, we might take? EDIT: I didn't know about that Minny was trading it to Denver because I'm currently in Brazil so I have to watch the draft through the ESPN web cast, thanks for telling me. I figured there was a trade in the works, but was not aware it was with Denver.
Hell, maybe Blair's still on the board at 26? At #26, the best value I see left on most boards is Chase Budinger. He seems like an obvious fit for the Bulls. He's an excellent, floor spacing shooter, and not a terrible distributor. Compared to the other SG prospects we've talked about, he produced similar or better, but with less good teammates around him. He measures out quite well athletically. So he's the guy. If he's not there, I don't have a problem with Ellington or even Jermaine Taylor. But while Buddinger was probably overrated as a lottery pick, he seems to have fallen further than he should. Next, I see several players that look worth a shot in the second round, and several reasons to pick up a second rounder to get them. First, the Bulls need to fill out their roster and will be under the gun financially. Second rounders are the cheapest way to fill out your roster. Second, there are several guys there who fit the profile for NBA success. My prime target would be Jeff Pendergraph. If you compare his size and athleticism to successful NBA players, he compares very well to guys like Okafor, Horford, and even Amare. That is, he's not as good as Amare, but he's definitely got and NBA body. Second, he's been talked about up and down as a tireless worker. He seems like the prototype 2nd round steal, and would be at a need position. Trade a future 2nd and get him. We'll need depth up front. If, for some reason, we don't have the #26 pick, Danny Green and Jermaine Taylor both look like they may be there in the second round, and both look like they've got NBA bodies, athleticism, and skills. Again, the cost is very low, and, we need to fill the roster, and they appear to have (for second round picks) relatively good profiles. So in summary, this might be a weak draft, but I see particular guys that are worth going and taking a flyer on, given that the cost of doing so is low.
