I have had all 3 going to Orlando at one point or another. It will all depend on Otis' plan for free agency and just how bad he thinks they need a big man with Battie returning.

Any team that takes Westbrook over Augustin should have their heads examined. Westbrook is the most overrated player in this draft right now. He plays way out of control all the time. He hurt UCLA more than he helped them in the tourney. If he is not picking up offensive fouls he is being blocked on his wild 1 on 3 fastbreaks. The kid has talent, but he has a long way to go to refine it.


I would argue that Westbrook at the defensive end is such a good player that even if he is an "average" PG, he gives them something they do not have and that is a defensive presence away from the basket.

Westbrook is a good defensive PG for sure, but Augustin is also a good defensive PG. His defense is pretty underrated because he does so much else well.

Why do your mock drafts always have a raw player going to the Bulls . The team has plenty of Raw Big Men .

Chicago just falls in a weird spot where the BPA tends to be a raw big man. Part of it is just not knowing which direction Chicago is going in, because they tend to have young players at every position.

I am all ears as to what Bulls fans think is going to happen with their team in the offseason and more specifically that pick.

As a Bulls fan, i'm with you Cammo. I don't neccessarily want Jordan, but people are going to be questioned no matter who you put there.

If you pick a PG, people will ask if they don't like Hinrich.

If you pick a SG, people will ask if they don't like Gordon and Thabo.

If you pick a SF, people will ask if they don't like Deng or Nocioni.

PF- Tyrus/Gooden

Center- Noah/Gray

We obviously are going to be making a trade this summer, so until we know what direction we are going in I don't think there can really be a wrong pick for the Bulls.

It looks like you guys are in a situation simular to Boston last offseason. Too much young talent, not enough established players. Hopefully for the Bulls they can improve like Boston did.

You chose Arthur for the Kings (Which is good and expected). But IMO we would not pass up Westbrook IMO. Considering that if we lose Beno in the FA. We will be stupid if we let him go IMO.

Detroit already has 5 power forwards signed through next year... they will NOT draft another PF. :wavefinger:

Drafting Love is such a Bobcat move, and is my secret terrible fear. There's very little chance we'd take another big in the second round if we drafted Love, however... we already have two project bigs, and we'd still desperately need a backup PG.

I see you have Gordon higher than in your last mock. I think that's a mistake. I wouldn't take a 6'4 shooting guard that had a disappointing 2nd half of the season (even if he wasn't 100%) in the top 10. I think Douglas Roberts is a better player and a better prospect.

I don't like the Bulls drafting any type of guard unless it is Rose.

Bulls have enough guards.

The young kid that has the huge frame and jumps like Howard is intrigueing especially because he is everything, Gooden, Noah, and tyrus isn't. Or better yet...athletically and physically he is all 3 of them all wrapped into 1 package.

Athleticsm of Tyrus easy.
Big frame like a Howard to grow into.
Taller or as tall as Noah.
Prolly better standing reach than all of them.

Just based off a few youtube clips I can see he is about as far along in learning the game as tyrus with the same type of athleticsm aggressiveness.

good pick for the Bulls.

+1.

I'd rather reach and pick bill walker.

And like someone else mentioned. randolph is placed way too low in this mock.

For Toronto, I like Randolph, Thabeet, Lopez and Walker better than CDR.

I hope the Raptors somehow end up with Kyle Weaver (hopefully with a bought second rounder) because all I want is defense. Thabeet would be very nice too.

Robin Lopez isn't really what the Warriors need and it looks more and more like we're going to be picking #14 not #20.

We'd go with a banging physical PF like Speights, not Robin.

Other guys have just moved up, nothing Jawai has done wrong. I still really like Ogilvy, but it looks like he will not come out.
