bulls draft cameron bairstow

Stratmaster · Post #121 » by **Stratmaster** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 1:23 pm

Just looking at his stats for his college career (because I would be lying to claim I know anything more about him) this kid blossomed in his Senior year, going from pedestrian numbers to scoring 20.4 ppg on 56% shooting. He may have stayed more under the radar because of that. Considering his draft spot, and that he appears to be an inside scorer (the Bulls don't have an inside scorer once Boozer is gone) hopefully he can surprise us, make the team, and contribute off the bench later in the season or in future seasons.

Or maybe the Knicks will like him lol

@ Boozer being an inside scorer. 342 shots at rim and 685 from outside of 3 ft. That is less than half his attempts inside (49%). And he made them at only .60.7%.

Taj, for instance took .69.57% of his FGA at the rim and made near .70% of them.

We had a decent inside scorer last season, who may be gone, but it wasn't Boozer.

johnny, you just can't let it go can you? You really want to have another discussion about this? The bulls featured Boozer outside the 3' range. Is 3' range really what you limit inside scoring to? What you are referring to is primarily putbacks and open dunks and layups.

Geesh, Boozer has one foot and half the other one out the door and you still can't stand to see him mentioned with any type of nod to his skills? How about I rephrase it. The Bulls expected Boozer to be their inside scorer. they no longer have anyone they expect to be an inside scorer. They need someone they can at least expect to be an inside scorer.

Is that better?

My head is still spinning from the McBuckets move.
Bairstow looks like a solid pick--he's NBA ready body-looks to have a bag of skills--hope he can be a bench player.

Why do we even still discuss Boozer? Who cares he's gone (I pray) and we got someone better in Bairstow, YAY!!!

I guess. You just cannot admit that Taj is a good low post scorer and he is. Your "nod to Boozer's skills" (that don't even exist) was kind of a backhanded shot at the far better inside scorer who is still on the team and if we DON'T get Melo, he should still be on the team. That is all I'm saying.

I think your love for Taj gets in the way of any discussion about scoring PF's. Taj is not a good inside post player in the context I am talking about. That doesn't mean he can't occasionally score from the post.

Summer league team should be a beast again with Doug, Bairstow and Snell

Bulls Bigs: Noah taj smith Bairstow Randolph. Love the cost of that front court.

You must not have watched much of this past season. Taj was honestly one of the better low post scorers in the NBA. Our, ahem, other PF, pretty much sucked ass at scoring inside and was so afraid of contact, it was actually pathetic.

Randolph won't be on the team., but I agree, we have really good value at the 4 and 5, as it stands.

We could have Noah, Gibson, Smith and Bairstow all four for around $22 million combined.

Yeah....Taj one of the best inside scorers. OK Johnny. Whatever you say.

He actually uses his strength making him worlds stronger than Boozer.

My fellow Johnny just let it go, some people are impressed by wide open rebounds followed by some "Gimme Dat!"

Well, it's just the truth. It really is. Who was a better low post scorer than Taj in the NBA last season.? I can name a few, but not many.

Name me ten. Please name me ten. Look around the NBA and there just aren't very many guys anymore that you can dump the ball down to and yell.. "go to work". Like we saw countless times this season with the Bulls and Taj. Now, granted, that was a role Taj should not have had to undertake. Scoring through doubles and being a go to scorer on a team without many options. He did very well. I cannot wait to see what he can do with guys iike Rose and Melo to play with.

I'm glad we drafted Bairstow, he should be a good upgrrade over Boozer, right away.

We really do have a surplus of bigs right now. That still currently includes Boozer. But I doubt we keep them all. Some trade is coming. Either Melo or otherwise.

I'm impressed by his feet. Very active. You don't realize how BIG he is at first.

I think its safe to stop bashing boozer since he is going to be off the team. but this white boy wont sniff a min unless its a blowout or a few injuries occur. reguardless of what skill he brings thibs wont play him. he could be better then taj just because hes, out 13th man thibs will sit him and say (IM STICKING WITH THE TEAM THAT GOT US THIS FAR APPROACH) and also does he defend? that's already a huge red flag
