GoodAsGould Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 09:12 PM) F- for the Bulls. They passed up on better prospects that could help them THIS year for a project. They got a guy that is lottery talent and that fits into their plans since from what I read they only wanted 1 pick this draft anyways. Assuming they take something decent with the 30th pick so far I have the Bulls at an A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) A rookie SG was not going to make a difference, especially one taken at 23 (or 28, whatever) in a weak draft. Brooks is nothing more than a rotational player. Rudy Fernandez would have been nice. I don't know his salary though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I don't dislike Mirotic, I'm just not sure I like that he got picked 23rd. He now ranks third in the ACB and sixth in the Euroleague in PER, thanks to his prolific scoring (21 points per 40 minutes), solid work on the glass (9.4 rebounds per 40), defensive playmaking (1.4 blocks, 1.6 steals per 40) and terrific efficiency (61% 2P, 43% 3P, 86% FT). He's a highly efficient player, although he's done that in limited PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Im fine with Butler if the Bulls have some sort of solution for a guard, but im just not sure Butler can actually play 2. I can see the Bulls thinking it may work, I just dont know if it can. Butler can shoot, so maybe they are thinking he can back up Deng and maybe play some 2. Who knows.

Soxbadger Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Butler is a pretty good shooter actually. And Im not sure if he can play the 2, he played for Marquette which runs a pretty stupid system so he would often play the 4. But the more I think about the actual games, the more i realize hes a pretty quick/athletic 6'7 and in a normal system is a definitely a 3 and potentially a 2. It could be a sneaky pick if the Bulls realized that Marquette runs a strange system and he was completely out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Butler will be Deng's backup. They loved his athleticism and length and Thibs thinks he could be a good defender. Finally we'll be able to give Deng some rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
