adams. len will likely always be more polished offensively, i just think adams' potential as a defender and rebounder is immense.

Adams definitely has the physical tools. I see him as the Bulls target.

Louisville has been getting shots at the rim but they can't convert. Lucky Dieng is guarding the rim as well as he has or this would be an even bigger blowout.

Everything is going Michigan's way. Louisville is treading water.

Kudos to Skip. He's going to cost me $500, but that kid is having a game.

I love the way Dieng plays. Can guard out on the perimeter

Yep, I'm a big fan. If he's there for us you have to seriously consider taking him. He fits the GarPax mold and would fit into Thibs system well.

What an exciting first half. Luke Hancock, aka Kevin Love, brought Louisville back. Unbelievable.

And he can pass out of the high post pretty good.

Yes, he is NBA ready too. Noah, Dieng, Boozer and Gibson is some four IMO and by season end, we'd have the front court we loved from 2010 & 2011 season.

Let's see what McGary can do in the second half. Burke too.

McGary really gathers himself well when he gets the ball in the paint. Never really looks out of control or uncoordinated.

Dieng with great defense on Trey Burke.

Just stayed with Burke step for step. Very impressive. Taj-like.

Which is why the Bulls like him. He has the size we need too.

Dieng is okay, but not the guy the Bulls should prioritize in the draft if there are talented scorers available for them to take first.

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.
