F- for the Bulls. They passed up on better prospects that could help them THIS year for a project.

 

They got a guy that is lottery talent and that fits into their plans since from what I read they only wanted 1 pick this draft anyways. Assuming they take something decent with the 30th pick so far I have the Bulls at an A.

A rookie SG was not going to make a difference, especially one taken at 23 (or 28, whatever) in a weak draft. Brooks is nothing more than a rotational player.

Rudy Fernandez would have been nice. I don't know his salary though.

I don't dislike Mirotic, I'm just not sure I like that he got picked 23rd.

 

He now ranks third in the ACB and sixth in the Euroleague in PER, thanks to his prolific scoring (21 points per 40 minutes), solid work on the glass (9.4 rebounds per 40), defensive playmaking (1.4 blocks, 1.6 steals per 40) and terrific efficiency (61% 2P, 43% 3P, 86% FT).

 

He's a highly efficient player, although he's done that in limited PT.

Looks like it will be Jimmy Butler. Great story.

Jimmy Butler...?

 

lol at boos of Stern.

The bulls fell in love with Butler, which Im not sure I agree with.

Cool. No 2 guard.

I look forward to the movie.

At least the Bulls didn't take Kyle Singler.

I look forward to the movie.

 

Hopefully, it's as good as the Blind Side. And hopefully. Butler is as good as Michael Oher.

Butler? lol. Pathetic. I hate Chicago teams.

Im fine with Butler if the Bulls have some sort of solution for a guard, but im just not sure Butler can actually play 2. I can see the Bulls thinking it may work, I just dont know if it can. Butler can shoot, so maybe they are thinking he can back up Deng and maybe play some 2. Who knows.

Butler's a good defender, but needs to work on his shot.

I'm college basketball-stupid. Can Butler play the 2 at all?

Cool. No 2 guard.

 

Just means they plan to take care of that in F/A. Id expect one of Jrich, Rip, JR. Smith, or Mayo to be playing for the Bulls next season.

The SG is coming through FA/trade, no doubt. There's absolutely no way they sit on the position. No way.

Not a chance.

No way to upgrade SG without downgrading somewhere else.

Stop overreacting.

Butler will be Deng's backup.

Butler is a pretty good shooter actually. And Im not sure if he can play the 2, he played for Marquette which runs a pretty stupid system so he would often play the 4. But the more I think about the actual games, the more i realize hes a pretty quick/athletic 6'7 and in a normal system is a definitely a 3 and potentially a 2.

 

It could be a sneaky pick if the Bulls realized that Marquette runs a strange system and he was completely out of position.

Butler? lol. Pathetic. I hate Chicago teams.

By all means, please stop being a fan of them then.

Butler will be Deng's backup.

Butler should be a solid 4th 3 on a championship roster.

Butler will be Deng's backup. They loved his athleticism and length and Thibs thinks he could be a good defender. Finally we'll be able to give Deng some rest.

Whatever though, we weren't finding the next Kevin Martin at 1-30 anyway.
