Saw a few of these around the other boards on JBB I am sure many of you have to so you probably know how it works. In case you dont here is a small explination. I ask a question example. Fact or Fiction Deng will have a better rookie year than gordan. Then someone answers and they ask question and this process repeats itself try not to ask the same questions though. I will start I guess. Fact or Fiction. Chris Duhon will beat out Jannero Pargo for a roster spot.

Chris Duhon will beat out Jannero Pargo for a roster spot.</div> Fact...Chris Duhon will have a great year IMO. Fact or Fiction Jay Williams will return in the 2005 season.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting DaKn1cKs05:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact...Chris Duhon will have a great year IMO. Fact or Fiction Jay Williams will return in the 2005 season.</div> Fact I believe he will return by mid season. *Look at avatar* He has already started jumping off his injured leg and has started walking on it. He is currently coaching the jay williams summer camp so he has stayed close to basketball. He is only 22 years old so this injury shouldnt affect him much in the long run because he is so young he has the resistance to come back from it I believe more than a player who is like 30 something who had this type of thing happen. I hope he returns and signs a bit of a long term contract with the bulls since he said his loyalty is with the team for supporting him. I cant wait to see him return he will have a good career if he comes back. Fact or Fiction Curry will be on the team next year.
Fact- I think he'll do well this season, and hopefully get an extension this year, or atleast get resigned. Fact or Fiction Deng will eventually win the starting SF position, if not begin at it.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dpballers913:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction Deng will eventually win the starting SF position, if not begin at it.</div> Fact. He is a young talent that can not be held back he will slowly work his way into the starting lineup, but will average good minutes. He should make the rookie all star game then be in the starting lineup after all star weekend. He will have a tough time winning it over though from the european talent the bulls signed. Fact or Fiction. Chandler will recieve a extension before Curry.
Fiction Curry is going to be the cornerstone of the team for years to come Fact or fiction Nocioni has the potential to be the next Toni Kukoc
Fact Nocioni from what I've heard, he was great in argentina ( for some odd reason, he looks like a created wrestler from Smackdown: Just Bring It look at his headshot on bulls.com) FOF: Chris Duhon will get a contract from the bulls (he is still unsigned)
Fiction, for now at least, he'll be playing overseas. F/F: Both Curry and Chandler will be retained after this season.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ObieCent:</div><div class="quote_post">Fiction, for now at least, he'll be playing overseas. F/F: Both Curry and Chandler will be retained after this season.</div> Fact I dont think they will let Chandler go because of the fact that he was aquired by trading elton brand and he is in good shape and is a lean tall seven foot one forward. Not to mention he is still young and does not fully understand the money he should be offered and the free agent market. If the clippers or lakers (his hometown teams) dont make a serious run at him I say he stays here. Curry is just a beast. He will get a extension in the next 2 or 3 weeks imo he has shown he will be good. I dont think he should get the max extension unless he loses weight, but he should get some where in the 5 year 40 million dollar extension rather than the six year sixty something million dollar extension. F/F Ben Gordan will be rookie of the year.
Fiction-There are too many other people who will have better season like Okafor just because they will play like 38 mpg, But i expect Gordan to have a similer season to hinrichs rookie season but I think Gordan will score alittle more. FOF-Tyson will stay healthy the whole season.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Sprite:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact Fact or Fiction-Ben Gordon will Average Over 7 Assists This Year.</div> Fiction he is not going to average over 7 assists because he is a off guard who shoots firs tthen passes as well as the fact he will play more 2 then point since hinrich is here. He will probably get like at most 5 assists his rookie season. I think he will average double digit points though. Mabye average numbers like 12,5,5. F/F The bulls will aquire darius miles?
Fiction: At the SF slot they already have Luol Deng, who is going to need playing time and Nocioni who also needs playing time. Both are new to the NBA and need to play to get better and if Darius comes in here he will take up 30-35 mpg. Fact or Fiction: Jannero Pargo, if given time will be the MIP this year?
Fiction Darius is a good ball player but not what the bulls need. At 6'9" he has the height we are looking for but he is not a true guard not a great shooter much more of a slasher a small forward.Dont get me wrong I say take him if you can get him over Piatkowski because Pike is very one dimensional.Great 3 point shooter and that is it. All around talent goes to Miles but not sure he is what the bulls are looking for. Fact or Fiction: Bulls keep Mutumbo and give E-Rob more minutes at the 2 guard where he will shine??? Not so sure about this one myself but we can only hope he finally starts to earn some of his loot!

Not so sure about this one myself but we can only hope he finally starts to earn some of his loot!</div> fiction the Mutombo deal to Houston is all, but complete it is already in its final stages Mutombo does not want to be ehre so why would we want to keep him. he respected our orginization by explaining his situation in a thought out and well respected manner and I think we should definitely honor his wishes to play for a contender not only that, but with the talent coming back our way we fill two huge wholes that we needed filled. Which are one getting a vetern that can be a good locker room leader and a influenece in our younger guys in griffen although he struggled last year because he was injured he will porbably return to being a good roll player this year as he was in Dallas the year before he left for Houston. That answers your next question about Eddie Robinson with the aquiring of a big swingman in Kowski that alone pushes Robinson down a roster spot then also getting Griffen a guy that is also a quality roll player that can be considered a swingman pushes back Robinson even more. I think Robinson's major problem like was stated in a thread a while ago by Obiecent is his fear to use his athletism to the fullest because he is scarred to injure himself if he goes about that the same way his entire career he will never be good. F/F Duhon will return afte rone season over seas that is assuming he gets sent over.
Duhon is a good ball player that got stuck on a team that really doesnt need him. He will make his return next year and be a solid role player even if its not for the Bulls who are looking for cap space for the loaded free agent pool next year so I say fact. Fact or fiction: Pike will come with his size and earn a starting spot over the much smaller Gordon (not likely but what do you think, possible?)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting young-talent:</div><div class="quote_post">f/f hinrich will have a great seson?</div> Fact. He already had a great rookie season, and he's only going to improve. Now that Crawford is gone, he's been made the top PG which is a positive move for the future. F/F - Curry and Chandler will remain together next season.
Fact- Pax has faith in both of them, especially now that Curry's getting in shape Fact or Fiction- Deng gets starting spot by All-Star weekend
Fiction. I don't believe Deng will start unless someone like Nocioni completely hits a wall or seems to be a total bust. Otherwise, I think Deng will be the 6th man for all year. Fact or Fiction: Andres Nocioni has a better rookie year than both Deng and Gordon.
