Live draft blog

I meant to throw something out there earlier, but I didn’t get a chance to. Let this thread serve as the instant reaction thread for trades, picks and all things Bulls on draft night. First thoughts on the big trade that went down. Obviously Milwaukee is looking to save salary, it’s a nice deal for... Read more »

The lottery goes reasonably well for the Bulls

Not that the Bulls had too much at stake, it would have been nice to see the top two picks go out West while both are staying in the Eastern conference.   Washington won the #1 slot.   Combine that with their cap room, and they could be on a fast track to rebuilding, but... Read more »

In other good news, the Bulls will draft 17th

In my excitement over the Bulls win last night, I forgot to give the update on the other important Bulls news.   With Miami’s win last night, they wrapped up the 5th seed over Milwaukee.   That means the Bucks will draft 17th [and transfer that pick to the Bulls].   If Miami had lost... Read more »

Doug's big draft board

This is not a mock draft.   I don’t care what order the players go in as that relies on predicting with other teams will do.   This is the order I would take the players in and the order in which I believe they’ll be successful. Also, players not on this list are left off because... Read more »

Prospect of the Day - Brandon Jennings

Brandon Jennings, Lottomatica Roma, NBA Position: PG, H: 6’1, W: 170, Age: 19 Brandon Jennings struggled mightily playing in Europe for the year, and it will be interesting to see what effect that has on his draft stock.   Much like Holiday, his high ranking on mock draft charts has more to do with the type...

Prospect of the Day - Jonny Flynn

Jonny Flynn, Sophomore, Syracuse, NBA Position: PG, H: 6’0, W: 197, Age: 20 Flynn is a dynamic offensive player.  Watching him, I just think he has an “it” factor to his game.    He’s a small guard, but the PG position has many elite players with similar size, so shouldn’t be a huge concern.  He weighed...

Mike McGraw says Bulls to take BPA

Sounds more like speculation from McGraw than insider information to me, but still interesting as he says the Bulls will go BPA (more about his brief view of players at the link). Their overall team wish list would include better interior defense, a post-up scorer, a taller shooting guard, someone who has a chance of... Read more »

The NBA Lottery's impact on the Bulls

The Clippers were the big winner in the lottery taking the 1st pick in a draft some people think is one player deep.   Personally, I think Rubio makes it two players deep, but most experts haven’t actually watched him play much and are skeptical of European players by default. K.C. Johnson writes about the... Read more »

Earl Clark - Draft Capsule

Earl ClarkJunior, LouisvilleNBA Position: SF/PFH: 6’9, W: 220 lbs, Age: 21 Clark looks the part of NBA prospect especially if you see a highlight reel.   Unlike most prospects, Clark appears to have missed the memo about lying about your height for your college profile as he looks like a legit 6’9.    He has great physical...
