Problem with that DJQuick, is that I don't see a single superstar in this draft, let a lone a monster talent. There are a bunch of potential all star players in the top of the draft, and that is it.
I'm fine with Kemba being our star, I don't see why that would be so bad. It's a good thing to have your star be a PG. Just look at Chicago and Rose. We could be a team similar to that. They have one star PG, outside of that though they don't have any superstars. They have a bunch of all-star to borderline all star players.
If we make the playoffs this year, then I don't think were missing out on supreme talent in the draft. Were not missing out on a star. In fact I would say that Kemba might be a bigger star than anyone in this draft. What we will gain if we make the playoffs, with this current team, is a lot of respect and a lot of eyes. Guys will see this young roster and what they did and THAT will be what leads to interest among the free agents to coming here. That is your best bet to get a star, not in this upcoming draft.

As a Bulls fan, I hope you dont make the playoffs.
We have your #1 pick (for Tyrus Thomas). It has Lotto protection every year until 2016. We dont need the pick yet.

That is because you are looking at college production rather than nba size, and nba skillset. There are six or seven potential superstars in this draft Drummond, Davis, Lamb, Beal, Barnes, Sullenger, and PJ3. There are two many potential allstars to get into.

If you honestly think that 5'11 Kemba Walker is likely to have the same impact as 6'4 Derrick Rose I'm wasting my time. Kemba will be good, but no where near that good.

Last night the analysts from Nbatv called the Heat's game against us a very tough practice.

If you think 5'11 Allen Iverson is likely to have the same impact as 6'4 Derrick Rose i'm wasting my time.. oh wait........................................ Kemba won a national championship Rose didn't, Kemba has already had a bigger impact on the college level then Rose did so its certainly possible even though not probable.

Rose was also the #1 pick and the ROY. Iverson was the ROY too and for all I know he might have been a #1 pick as well. Kemba was the third PG taken in his draft class.
I'm not saying he won't be great, I'm just saying not too many teams saw superstar potential.
