CWSGuy406 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 f***. I hope they trade him, gosh damnit, Noah has no f***ing offensive game. He's doesn't help the Bulls at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Congrats to John Paxson, you now have Tyson Chandler....except not nearly as good. At least Tyson was tall and had projectable NBA ability to rebound. This has to be the worst draft pick by a Chicago team since the McNown and Enis days. I officially am against John Paxson, what an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I f***ing hate the pick of Noah, he is dumber than a box of rocks, Paxson really screwed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Paxson's high character picks and such are really starting to make him look dumb and bite him in the butt. He takes a front court guy with no scoring ability, so when Noah and Big Ben are playing together you have to guard 3 guys, and this team still doesn't have a 2 that can score. Ridiculous.

He's doesn't help the Bulls at all. Yeah, I'm not sure I get this. I don't dislike Noah, he could fill an important role on a good team. But it seems like that role is already filled on the Bulls, by more than one player. He seems redundant. (Except that he has a bit more height -- I'll grant that.) I don't see either Noah or Hawes making much of a difference for the Bulls next year, but at least Hawes could be an important player in a couple years. Noah, I'm not so sure. I'm not as upset as most. I'm just unsure. Really, Pax has made very few bad decisions, so I can't get too worked up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this about Noah -- he should be an above average defender in the paint against #4s and some #5s (the non-gigantic centers, like say Rasheed Wallace). He fits in as one of these 'new generation' defenders, ie I can see him being a guy who really knows how to utilize the flop charge to his advantage. But am I wrong in saying that that's not the type of 'ceiling' guy I want at the ninth overall pick, that I want more than an Anderson Varejao type (and I'm not just saying that because of the hair)? I don't know how anyone in their right mind could project any offensive game down the road for Noah besides "good at wide open dunks". People (ehem Jay Bilas) says his jumpshot is ugly but effective. Effective? What? If Noah wants to take a jump shot outside of ten feet and I'm on defense, I'll kindly show him where the rim is so he'll take the shot. Gosh damn... You're right in saying that Pax should've earned the fans' trust by now, but it's still very frustrating. It's going to be very tough for me to root for him.

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Nothing to do with his skills, I just loath the Bulls pick from what I heard in a TV interview. He is the most arrogant athletes to never produce that I have ever heard. But a bet a lot of 14 year old girls will be wearing his jersey because he has nice hair. Nice job Pax!

whitesoxfan101 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I can't remember the last time I saw a pick that was a lock to fail like this by a Chicago team.

Question away, I'm not trying to quiet anyone with that comment. Partially, it's just because I follow basketball a lot less closely that baseball and football, and so I don't trust my opinions. You really think he's comparable to Varejao? Ouch... I'd agree, his offensive skills won't see much improvement at all. He'll never, ever be a scorer. I just look at him as a defender-rebounder. I keep looking back to the Pistons series. Joakim Noah is a useful player, but the Bulls still get rolled in that series, even with a surprisingly good Noah. That's my standard right now, and I don't think this team has found any real answers to the questions that series raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoRowand33 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I bet in a year we'll all be thanking Paxon for this pick sure he's not a scorer, but good defense and rebounding can't hurt us and with Tyrus Thomas a year older maybe he will develop into a low-post threat and honestly who's better? Hawes is a 7 footer with no rebounding ability. that guy should have been a defensive freak, and its a huge redflag as an athlete to not dominate people half his own size. Hawes would probably negate his offense by allowing too many people to score on him so even if Noah doesn't 100% fulfill our needs, he was the best pick to take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
