Damn the bulls went 6-1 in this summer league deng averaged 15 points and was on the reviews first team. While gordan averaged an impressive 13.8 points n 25.5 minutes of play get the full stats here http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/summer_league04.html if the bulls young guys do this all regular season and mabye if jayson williams comes back they could make a playoff bid. This has got to be imo the best bulls team in years its got so much talent. I actually think it would be best for the bulls to make a sign and trade deal with some team for crawford basically because the guy has horrible shoot selection and would slow the development of gordan. Deng is gona be something big for the bulls too. He will be like a corey maggette imo. Maggette spent one year in duke as well and ever since coming into the nba has improved his scoring each of his 5 seasons.
wow, maybe we can be the number one seed team in the east, using 6-1...66-12..the final record about 68-14. the bulls would be the number one nba team, cool.. okay i'm sorry for my stupid comment, but the bulls usually do pretty good at the summer leagues. problem is they're taking on players who most likely r either cut or benched, and for the bulls, that's the starting line-up, maybe not that extreme, but close.. the bulls can make a push for the playoffs though cuz east is wide open and i like crawford, PAXSON DO NOT TRADE JC! but crawford wants to go to NY, so i guess i want him to be happy, go to the big apple jc..
Good to see the young guys are better than we/I expected.. Deng really suprised me, I mean I knew he would be good but not this fast.. But it's only summer league. I hope Deng, Gordon, and Duhon can carry this momentum into the regular season.
The Bulls may have faired extremely well in this, but, it's not the regular season. Summer League doesn't do much except it helps familiarize rookies with the offense and it helps to figure out your final season roster. That's about it. But, I do agree that the Bulls could make a playoff run. They are in the East, where, last year, 36 wins got you in. So, as long as they win somewhere around 35-40, they have a great opportunity to land anywhere from 5-8 for the most part. I think it is possible, as long as Chandler and Curry show what they can really do, and if Chandler stays healthy. And, if the rookies, especially Deng and Gordon, can produce right off the bat, that'd be a huge plus for that team. So, hopefully the Bulls finally have a good year and make the playoffs for this upcoming season. I myself am very optimistic about their chances and believe that this upcoming season could finally be a good one.
It's good to see the rookies trying to get used to the NBA environment. I see Ben Gordon to have nearly as high of a points per game average in the regular season with the PPG in the summer league. the bulls have one of the brightest futures in the NBA at the moment with a few all-stars waiting to happen as i am excited to see them start playing. They have a chance at the 8th seed.
