    the most amazing part about the bulls is the youth of their featured backcourt..


    1) Kirk Hinrich Kansas '03
    2) Ben Gordon Connecticut '05
    3) Luol Deng (will likely play 2 or 3) Duke '07
    4) Chris Duhon Duke '04
    5) Scottie Pippen Central Arkanas '87

    *Pippen is the only of the top 5 bulls backcourt to be over 23 years of age

    Notables: free agent Jamal Crawford- Michigan '03
    Bulls '02 draft pick Jay Williams- Duke '03

    I'm not too sure what the bulls GM is trying to accomplish by continuing to draft college guards (with the exception of Luol Deng who could turn out be a very diverse player for the bulls), granted Hinrich looked superb in his 1st season, and Ben Gordon shows some promise coming out of Uconn. on the flipside, Chris Duhon was one of the NCAA's most natural point guards last year, and among the best with that. He should be a player who gets more minutes then what the bulls will likely be offering him next season.
