June 4, 200421 yr Will the Bulls take another chance on a hometown kid, or at least home state. He is moving up the draft board and is not predicted to go to the Bulls. Scouts say if his shooting improves he can be in an elite group of players. Any thoughts?
June 5, 200421 yr He could definitely be a superstar. He has a 45 inch vertical and has great passing skills for a 6'6 wingman. He has a nice handle also, and his shooting is improving. His stock is soaring as much as anyone's in the draft. He would be a great pick at #3.
June 5, 200421 yr Trade the pick. At this point the Bulls can't wait for another young guy. The guys are there. They need to make a couple trades and find 1 more guy via that trade.
June 5, 200421 yr He's not goin to go at #3, the Bulls will always pick Deng over him. His best chance of goin high is at #6 with Atlanta, or the Suns could snap him up with the next pick.
June 5, 200421 yr Him and Deng are both pretty good players. Both need to improve their shots but would be good picks. Personaly I'd still try to package the pick, but the Bulls may realize they are a few years off so getting some more talent may not be so bad. They need to get guys with good attitudes that want to play and play both offense and defense.
June 7, 200421 yr Author He's not goin to go at #3, the Bulls will always pick Deng over him. His best chance of goin high is at #6 with Atlanta, or the Suns could snap him up with the next pick. From what I read you are wrong. He has been the fastest rising player.
June 7, 200421 yr From what I read you are wrong. He has been the fastest rising player. From Hoopsworld, John Paxson, General Manager of the Chicago Bulls, will be rewarded for his due diligence this upcoming weekend when the Bulls host a workout featuring Stanford's Josh Childress, Arizona's Andre Iguodala and Nevada's Kirk Snyder. Luol Deng could be a late entry as well, but all four players are under consideration by the Bulls, with the player having the best workout being the most likely to be taken with the team's first round pick this summer.
June 9, 200421 yr Deng has got to be my favorite of the possible picks, although I haven't seen any of the HS kid from Atlanta.
June 9, 200421 yr There was a new ESPN Insider article today about how he is working out at hoops the gym in chicago. I'm starting to like Iggy a lot more than Deng.
June 9, 200421 yr Deng has got to be my favorite of the possible picks, although I haven't seen any of the HS kid from Atlanta. Terry and #6 for Clippers #2, you can book it. Atlanta will get Dwight Howard, unless he WOWS Orlando in a workout.
June 9, 200421 yr So, is Okafor's draft status falling? Where is he projected to go? Not really, but Howard's has been rising the last few days. Okafor may not be a lock now. Plus if we trade T-Mac and rebuild, we'll take Howard.
June 9, 200421 yr Not really, but Howard's has been rising the last few days. Okafor may not be a lock now. Plus if we trade T-Mac and rebuild, we'll take Howard. You could give us Tracy...
June 9, 200421 yr You could give us Tracy... Giv us Curry, Chandler and ur 3rd pick and I'll think bout it.
June 9, 200421 yr Giv us Curry, Chandler and ur 3rd pick and I'll think bout it. More likely Curry OR Chandler, Crawford, and the pick
June 9, 200421 yr More likely Curry OR Chandler, Crawford, and the pick I still think that he gets shipped out to Phoenix for Shawn Marion, Joe Johnson and some 1st rounders though.
