    With the departure of Scottie Pippen (retirement) and Chris Jeffries (waived) the Bulls have added to their training camp roster:

    Jared Reiner

    6'11" 255lb Center from The University of Iowa
    Jared averaged:
    10.1 PPG and 7.8 RPG Shooting 54.1% from the field in 25.3 minutes per game over three years for Iowa

    Tommy Smith

    6'10" 200lb Forward from Arizona State University
    Tommy averaged:
    9.2 PPG and 4.8 RPG shooting 50% from the field in 21.9 minutes per game over four years for ASU

    Chris Duhon

    6'1" 185lb Guard from Duke University
    Chris averaged:
    8.4 PPG and 5.6 APG shooting 40.6% from the field in 32.7 minutes per game over three years for Duke

    Good luck to all three and being an Iowan and a Iowa fan extra luck to Jared Reiner. [​IMG] I think his size and skill would benifit the bulls much at the center position Antonio Davis does well as a back-up to Eddie Curry but lets face it he is very undersized for the position.

    Duhon is fighting for a back-up spot to Kirk Hinrich with Frank Williams and Janero Pargo both Williams and Pargo showed some flashes of greatness or more like real goodness last year so this may be an uphill battle the NBA inexperienced Duhon cant win.

    Tommy Smith is THIN 6'10" 200lbs he is an injury waiting to happen! The Bulls picked him in the second round 53rd overall in the 2003 draft. I am not saying he isnt talented (actually I dont know never saw the guy play) but there are guards that out weigh that. Regardless good luck to them all (go Jared ) and here is to a kick ass season by the Bulls [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I doubt any of them make this years roster, I'd rather see Mario Austin on there than Tommy Smith.

    Being an Iowan and a huge Hawkeye fan, I have to root for Reiner. I loved him in college and I think he could have had a great senior year had he not been hurt all season. Oh well, hopefully he can make the roster for the Bulls. But, anyways, good luck to all of em.
