Wow, how did Burke finish that? Wish more college games were played at this level.

What scorers do you like? It's early right now, so it's hard to tell, but I don't like the wings in our draft range.


I like Goodwin and McCollum as guard prospects, though McCollum's size is a bit of a concern. I also like the Austin kid from Baylor and Olynyk from Gonzaga.

I agree that the offensive talent starts to dissipate as the draft goes on, which is why I hope the Bulls consider moving up. I wouldn't have an issue with Dieng if some of these guys are gone at pick 18-20, or whatever it is.


I like McCollum and Goodwin as well. Goodwin is more of a boom or bust player and I don't think we can miss on this pick this year. It's really just so early right now. Still so much time from then and now

Refs are epically bad too. Still a great game though, but the calls are baffling at times.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

That foul call on Trey's block ruined a great game. I'm beyond pissed.

Ralph I'm feeling you on Dieng but not so much on Withey. After tonight's game I would imagine its the beginning of Diengs rise up the draft board.

This is the worst clutch rebounding performance I have ever seen by Michigan.

I think he will be in reach. I think he is going to be a solid pro and if he can get on a team like the Spurs, Bulls, a team that has a good system in place and knows how to maximize players talents, he is going to have an impact.

I'm not so sure that he'll be there once he starts impressing teams in workouts. We'll see I guess.

Dieng is tailor made for what we do. You can definitely see why the FO likes him.

I must have missed something. Has there been a report saying that the Bulls front office was interested in Dieng?

The McGary train slowed down a bit tonight. Still a great prospect, no doubt about that. I wonder if he declares now. I could see him declare and not hire an agent. Test the waters and get some feedback.

I think it just came from one of the guys that runs "Rumor Press". Said a few weeks ago the Bulls had interest in both Dieng and Withey.
