Sam Smith:Analyzing the Bulls draff

truebluefan · Jun 24, 2011

The Bulls did have an opportunity Thursday night to make a bid for Portland’s Rudy Fernandez, who went to Dallas for draft picks. The Bulls presumably could have put together a similar package. I liked Rudy last season and thought he might fit. But Fernandez had a terrible season, shooting 37 percent overall in the regular season, and in the playoffs 22 percent and averaging 2.8 points.

The Bulls believe they can do better, and I have to agree.

There’s still O.J. Mayo out there, who is expected to be traded. Vince Carter could be released, although that is problematic as he and the Suns agreed to extend his buyout date, which suggests a pending agreement. With the Jazz adding a shooting guard, maybe they look to move C.J. Miles or Raja Bell, and with Stephen Jackson coming to the Bucks perhaps they make a move with Carlos Delfino or Chris Douglas-Roberts. And with Klay Thompson going to the Warriors, you have to believe Monta Ellis can be acquired.

After all, this is a Bulls team coming off 62 wins and the conference finals. The coach isn’t about development. He’ll be expected to at least match what the team did previously. You don’t do that with guys learning to set a pick or being disruptive about their playing time.

There were guys I liked who went after the Bulls traded up to No. 23 to get Mirotic, who was ranked highly around the NBA and would have been considered a lottery pick if eligible to come to the NBA this year. He has a long term deal in Spain with top team Real Madrid, though it is possible he comes to the NBA in two years.
