Do you trust Ben Gordon with the last shot to win the game?

Ben's rookie year he caught guys off guard. He just came into the league other teams didn't know he was that explosive as a scorer that's why he was so dominate in the 4th qtr and last game shots in the 04/05 season. But now this is his 4th year and teams are glued to him. Are team hasn't improved in the front court at all Ben Wallace is not going to command double teams and kick the ball out to an open Gordon or Hinrich. We need a low post scorer that would really help the bulls to close out games better and help the jump shooters.

Players are glued to him, you know what you do about that... you get in better condition and you tire them out, running them through screens all game long, punish them for trying to play defense.

Like I said before, Gordon's going to need to be the hardest working player on the offensive end because he's so small, he can't get away with somethings other larger guards can do like shoot over guys.

Kobe Bryant. :)

Corey Maggette would be good. Also, by reading draftexpress.com, there's a guy named Chris Douglas-Roberts from Memphis who seems to fit that description. If we don't improve a whole lot from where we are now, we might be in position to draft him.

Of course, it would require a commitment to Gordon at PG within a new offense designed to maximize his skills, which has a very small chance of happening.
