I'm going to throw some names at ya so you'll be better prepared for who the Bulls will grab tonight. Keep in mind that the Bulls need some help for D-Rose in the scoring department and a possible replacement for Boozer if the new labor agreement includes an amnesty clause, as has been rumored, which would allow teams to cut one bad contract off their books.
Who the Bulls would love to fall to them or to trade up for:
1. Alec Burks - 6'6" SG (Colo.) Excellent scoring instincts, good ball handler for a 2 guard, has 6'10" wingspan, excellent free throw shooter and knows how to get to the line, good rebounder, needs to bulk up a bit.
2. Marshon Brooks - 6'5" SG (Prov.) Dropped 43 on Georgetown and 52 on Notre Dame. Can flat-out fill it up. Has more turnovers than assists. Pure, natural scorer who reportedly models himself after Kobe Bryant, good and bad. He's supposedly known for being a ball-hog and selfish. Sooo, he's pretty much like half the guys in the League? Sign 'em.
Who will actually be available:
1. Nikola Mirotic - 6'10" SF/PF (Real Madrid) Toni Kukoc? Nope. Think Jason Kapono. Best outside shooter in the draft, right there with Jimmer, but can shoot over people with his long wingspan. Really good Bball IQ, sees the floor well, will excel at the catch 'n shoot. Moves well, good handles. Really thin, needs to bulk up. He can just about handle the speed on defense put will get pushed around. He's moving up draft boards, so he might not be available.
2. Nolan Smith - 6'3" PG/SG (Duke) Typical Dukie: Mature, high character, smart, coachable, does everything well, but excels at nothing; lacks explosiveness.
3. Jon Leuer - 6'11" PF/C (Wisc) A finesse 4 with really good range, good passer out of the post, lacks bulk and strength but good Bball IQ puts him in good positions on defense. Can beat college guys his size off the dribble but may have trouble doing that at the next level. Would love to him pick 'n roll with D-Rose.
