Bulls Draft 2009

Its never to early to look at the next upcoming draft... Here are 4 guys i think the Bulls will look extremely hard at, an I hope we at least walk away with one of them.

Demar DeRozen-6'6'' Freak athlete at the 2 guard, could be great with D Rose,

Tyreke Evans- Another extremely talented player like DeRozen could match great with D Rose,also 6'6''

Tyler Hansbrough-Mostly likely a 6th or 7th man but will actaully bring some inside presents, Player of the Year are some nice credentails

Stephen Curry-We have seen him grow, absolute great scorer, with Rose getting him open shots he could be DEADLY

I'm not sure if Chicago should be looking at guards. They have an obvious hole up front and if they can't get a big in a trade they'd need to look at getting one in the draft.

Draftexpress currently has the Bulls at 13th. They would be able to move up and take a Mullens but I don't think DeRozan or Mullens will come out if they slip out of the top 5. The best bet is Andrew Ogilvy and trading down while picking up some more assets might not be a bad idea. You could go with the BPA, a wing player like Willie Warren or even go big again with Tyler Hansbrough or DeJuan Blair.

I think all the big man out there in the draft arnt very good, thats why i would just draft the best talent, an he might even work out for ya and if he doesnt you send him in a trade an sweeten a deal, who wouldnt want Stephan Curry or Evans in a deal.

As long as Paxson is the GM, then Tyler Hansbrough is the future of Chicago 'below-average' basketball.  He screams Kirk Hinrich/Joakim Noah/Andres Nocioni (no talent) toughnose basketball.

Personally, its time to trade out of the middle teens as part of a package deal for a real basketball player.  A center or two would be a good start, and some cap room for 2010 should be next on the list.

I agree that Hansbrough is a Paxson-type guy. IMHO, he is similar to David Lee, a guy Paxson coveted. If we are picking as low as #13, would there likely be a better player available?

I'm actually hoping for Ogilvy at this time considering that the Bulls will have a mid first round pick at this point.

Thats the point.  There just isn't the type of contributor that the Bulls need at that point in the draft.  We are already clogged with too many players and not enough minutes.  Another role playing toughnosed senior wouldn't get enough minutes to be worth it or change our team.  We need another superstar next to Rose.  NO team can win with one superstar.  Its just not possible.  And honestly, we can trade our upcoming pick, and 2-3 of our players (pretty much anyone but Rose) to upgrade at one position, and we'd be better next season.  Simply because we could establish a rotation, give quality minutes to the guys that really deserve them, and we'd still have enough "hustle" players around Rose and whoever to win games.  We have too much hustle and not enough efficiency.  No one in the middle of the first round is going to give us efficiency.
