By far there best draft in years they got deng and gordan. WOW is all im gona say cant wait to see what they do the rest of the off season and in the regular season. They look good so far. If they can get pierce some how. It would be great. Even though phonex picked deng he will later be traded to the bulls like reported.
should have taken iguodala rather than deng if they keep the 7th pick...he is more ahtletic and plays better defense, he can guard kobe, mcgrady,etc...deng can't...need some athleticism on offense and defense, iguodala was they way to go...
This is by far the best draft for the bulls in ages, but I dont get 2 things: 1) Deng is a great player and he is awesome so why do people not like him? 2) Why did the Bulls draft Gordon if they already have Hinrich at the point?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting L.Sooch:</div><div class="quote_post">This is by far the best draft for the bulls in ages...</div> wow, i didn't know people are that unaware...best draft for the bulls in ages? remember all the way back in the 90s in 1999 when they got a couple of guys named elton brand and ron artest???
that was a great draft for em but i was sordof made cause deng was still free and he went 8th and tha raptors had 9th so im was praing that they wouldnt draft him but they did but hopefully the bulls do something this season

Why did the Bulls draft Gordon if they already have Hinrich at the point? Good question.. Now we can ask why we drafted Duhon
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting NikeHoops3:</div><div class="quote_post">Why did the Bulls draft Gordon if they already have Hinrich at the point? Good question..

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting NikeHoops3:</div><div class="quote_post">Why did the Bulls draft Gordon if they already have Hinrich at the point? Good question.. Now we can ask why we drafted Duhon</div> just for trades later during the week(s).

Brand was good when he was on the Bulls but Artest wasnt what he is now. I mean the best draft in ages in potential I can see these guys being great players in this league someday. And why did the Bulls draft Duhon after they already had Gordon and Hinrich at point?? They might have trade value but not too much because of the players that are probably going to be packaged with them.
They drafted Gordon because Hinrich was originally supposed to play the SG spot, but Hinrich is a smarter and better PG for the NBA stand point. Gordon will most likely be played at SG now. Deng I don't understand either, I was hoping for Iguadala, but you never know. Duhon was drafted to back Hinrich or Gordon up off the bench, depending which of the two plays the point. If they put Hinrich on the bench, I'll no longer be a Bulls fans, I know that's harsh, but that would be just too big of a mistake to handle.

Honestly, I would have rather seen Antonio Burks get drafted by the Bulls, I think he's better than Duhon, but that's just me. Anywho, GREAT draft by the Bulls. Deng who can play different positions helps them out and Gordan who just does it all offensively. And did anyone notice, Duke teammates Deng and Duhon are back together again.
Exactly, Hinrich has great court vision and did a great job in dishing the ball last season. I wouldn't want any other growing younger player as the point for my team than Kirk Hinrich. Especially as a starter. Discussion: If they would trade Gordon, Deng, or both, where to, and for who and/or what?
If you ask me, I say Duhon a great pick ... His leadership role and defensive play was a huge asset for duke. Very good draft for the Bulls. And no offense but Deng needs to show me more.
Yeah Sure they got some good players but it just doesn't make sense.They are only good players individually but they don't fit what the Bulls need. They just drafted a great PG in Hinrich, yet they draft Gordon and Duhon. The backcourt is going to be super small, which isn't too good. Also if you think about it the Bulls are now full of PG's. We technically have like 6 PG's in Hinrich, Pargo, Gordon, Duhon, Jay-Cee (orig PG), and Jay Williams (when he comes back, which he wants to). This is crazy!!! We better trade some of them and not have this team be PG powerful.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Czy_Jojo:</div><div class="quote_post">And no offense but Deng needs to show me more.</div> ha, you're right, he actaully shows offense, the thing deng needs to show you more is his defense.

Discussion: If they would trade Gordon, Deng, or both, where to, and for who and/or what?</div> a few players...pierce, hopefully he'll come to chicago, mcgrady's a long shot, al harrington a possibility...you really think the bulls will wait again to see how these players develop? they are building the team around hinrich and curry, which i like and agree. chandler, crawford, and robinson all need to go and several teams would like to have any one of these three, but gordon or deng or both will be most likely be involved with the trades with the three i believe.
Could happen, Pax is an extremely intelligent man to have in the office and can get almost any deal done, IMO. Kirk always somewhat reminds me of Pax with the intellect on the court and in the back.
Hinrich seems to be the guy who plays PG even though Crawford has been playing the position. It's true, Gordon is better as the SG, he's a Combo Guard and therefore would play better and have more versatility as a scorer since his passing, vision and PG skills are just slightly above average. He'll be very good for you, I think he's a very good candidate for next season's ROY.
