    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Before every game and after most practice sessions, Bulls guard Chris Duhon stands behind the three-point line and fires countless jump shots after getting fed the ball by assistant coach Ron Adams.

    An erratic outside shot is why Duhon was available when the Bulls selected him in the second round of last June's draft (No. 38 overall) -- and was supposed to be the reason he wouldn't make an NBA roster.

    But nearly three-quarters into a surprising rookie season, a more consistent long-range jumper seems about the only thing he needs to ensure a long professional career.

    ''I think a big part of Chris' success ultimately will be the three,'' Bulls coach Scott Skiles said. ''You can see it now; you can see it coming. If he can get that thing up to the upper 30s -- 38 percent, something like that -- I think that's going to serve him well.</div> Source

    Chris Duhon is a steal, nuff said. im love his court feel, and stingy defense, and was a 2nd rounder? i know today people look at point guards who are mostly scoring oriented, but Chris Duhon is a solid pure pg that will help your team more than a tirgger-happy pg who doesnt share the ball

    I honestly think that when it's all said and done this draft will be viewed as one of the best in NBA history if it isn't already.

    Oh, I'm sorry, I meant the best by an individual team.

    yeah duhon is playing very well...to be starting as a second-round pick for a playoff team is quite an accomplishment...the article is right, if he steps up his shooting and becomes a deadeye 3-point shooter, he can be a very solid player in the future...
