Finally!

That wait felt like half a year. No idea why it took as long as it did, but w/e. He's officially a Bull. Yay.

6. Most annoying thing is when he doesn't get back on defense and is yelling at the refs after a missed call. He has actually better at this last year though, I think.



We have plenty of experience with this with Jalen Rose. He used to intentionally foul after a missed call so he could argue with the refs.
Scottie Pippen's response to whom he would pick for his running mate, Michael or LeBron: "That's a dumbass question. I've never done anything with LeBron. I wouldn't take LeBron to the movies."

How is Butler going to score less this year after becoming the first option?

I don't envision any scenario where Jimmy averages only 12-13 shots a game.

I'm predicting 23 pts a game for Jimmy this year. Maybe even 25.

He certainly isn't going to average less than he did last year.

2 questions

1-) Is Wade going to be the last one to be introduced at the UC?? Or is it going to be Buckets??

2-) Will Tommy Edwards going to say: "From Chicago..." when he introduces Wade?

You're expecting Jimmy to be a superstar or have superstar numbers when he won't have as much time with the ball in his hands.

Jimmy will still get plenty of scoring opportunities. I'll be surprised if he doesn't average around 18 shots a game, and with his ability to get to the FT line, I see him averaging around 23pts or so.

I think they need to just retire that "From Chicago" stuff. So hopefully they just announce him from Marquette

I see him being more efficient because of better scoring opportunities, but I don't see him averaging over 23 with our backcourt. Also, he's no longer the bigger player now as he'll be playing the 3 also. At least at the 2, he had a size advantage on both ends. But we'll see. If Jimmy was efficient and averaged 23 plus, I'd expect him to be a starter in the ASG, and expect us to make a run in the playoffs. But we'll see.

Yep. Born in Chicago, raised in Robbins...which is about a close to being raised in Chicago as you can get.

1. Wade will bring the intangibles and experience to take Jimny to a new level.

2. He will make plays when it counts.

3. He will rest enough to give the young guys burn.

4. Jimmy Niko Wade Dougie will be the pecking order. Niko Dougie will be putting up 16-18 3s per game.
