NBA Mock Draft Thread


Recommended Posts

I hope the Bulls take Iguodala or trade down and take Kirk Snyder.

 

Chad Ford, from ESPN, also has the Bulls taking Iguodala in his mock.

That seems the popular pick with the Bulls now, takin Iguodola witht he 3rd pick. Still I think Deng is the better choice, but that's just me. Harrington and the 29th pick for Chicago's 3rd could be back on. ;)

Deng is definitely a safe choice. I wouldn't mind him at all. For some reason I just really like Andre, though. Last year I was one of the people that wanted Mickael Pietrus b/c he was super athletic and was supposedly a really good defender and just a solid player all around like most euro players, and he didn't do much this year, so I'm a little weary about Iguodala b/c how much he sounds like Pietrus.

 

Oh yeah, and, DBAH0, have you seen Hinrich w/ his short hair?

I found some more picks from the "experts":

The Sports Forecaster | ChicagoSports.com

Luol Deng

Comments: The logical choice here would be Dwight Howard. But after Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry, what are the chances the baby Bulls will take another flier on another unproven high school big man? Slim and none (with Chandler being the 'slim' and Curry's defense being the 'none'). Deng is their man, filling a gaping hole at small forward and providing the wing scoring and versatility they haven't had since Scottie Pippen was healthy.

 

Chris Monter | SI.com

Andre Iguodala

Comments: The ex-Wildcat is an athletic swingman whose stock is rising after strong individual workouts, but Shaun Livingston and Luol Deng are possibilities if the Bulls keep the pick.

 

Ray Glier | NBCSports.com contributor

Andre Iguodala

 

HoopsHype.com

Luol Deng

Comments: A versatile player with high basketball IQ. Increased his stock with a great performance in the NCAA tournament.

 

Chad Ford | ESPN Insider

Comments: The decision is down to Iguodala, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon and Josh Childress. However, of those four, Iguodala has the most upside and is the best fit. He's the most athletic, the best defender, a superior passer and may be the most ready to step in and contribute right away. Iguodala is the guy who gets them to the playoffs the quickest -- that is, unless, the Bulls trade this pick.

 

Tony Mejia | SportsLine.com Staff Writer

Luol Deng

Comments: The player the Bulls have identified as their top choice should fall right in their lap. Too bad Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler have been so erratic; if they lived up to their potential, the Bulls would be looking at the NBA's top frontcourt for the next decade.

Since I didn't want to start a new thread, this is a bit off topic, but there is a trade rumor going around, that would send Tyson Chandler, Pick Number 3, and a PTBNL (to even out salaries, Robinson or Pippen) to Boston for Paul Pierce.

 

Yay? Nay? I was really dissappointed in the Bulls this year and I have sort of turned them off, you guys like this deal?

Livingston's stock may be falling.

 

He has no upper body strength.

 

He couldn't bench press 185 even once in the Chicago predraft camp.

I've seen Livingston play quite a few times during the course of his Illinois high school career and he has the makings of a good one. His problems may lie in his height (that could shift him to the 2 in the long run) and his lack of strength as you mentioned. He can shoot, but I don't think he should have gone pro. If he can develop strength and continue to improve his ballhandling (it never impressed me, I'm assuming he will need work here as the defense will be much better than high school) and his shot he should be a really good one.

 

And I would love to have that Paul Pierce deal go through. Nobody at the 3rd pick thrills me and Chandler has back problems at a young age. That makes me very worried about him. Pierce is a legit scorer in the NBA. He is much better than Rose so I'm hoping he can get it to work.

Id do this trade IF Boston would throw in their 1st round pick.

I think the Bulls either make the proposed trade with Boston, or they take Deng. I like Andre, he has come on strong late, but i think Deng wills a hole.... the SF. If Chandler can come back strong, that would be a solid starting lineup..

 

PG - Captin Kirk

SG - Crawford?

C - Curry

PF - Chandler

SF - Deng

 

I like the potential of that line-up
