nitetrain8601 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 04:55 PM) If we can get Aaron Gordon with that pick I would be so happy. I'm not sure why he's that low on draft boards but he is, at least for now. I'd gladly take that over a future lottery pick. Though he will be a stud defensively, he has no position, his offensive game needs a lot of refining and he didn't show this year that he could dominate consistently. He reminds me a lot of Tyrus Thomas to be honest with you. I watch a lot of Pac-12 basketball, and Aaron Gordon is at least 2 years away from contributing on a consistent basis for a team. The good thing is he can defend four positions. Sounds exactly like a Bulls player, all d, no o. I'd take Nick Johnson before Aaron. If I'm the Bulls, there's a lot of great options in their range. If the Bulls want to go with a backup C and PG, they could be in range for Tyler Ennis and Adriean Payne. If they want offense, 2 of LaVine, McDermott, Young, Hood and Stauskus and Selden should be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they're looking to deal Noah, I feel like the Bulls should keep targeting offense in the draft and just expect that the combination of Thibs and Noah will take care of most of their needs on D.

I'm in on this, but I've also been thinking that maybe since we've proven we can draft defensive studs, we keep drafting them since we know we are good at them, never sign them, and use some money to pay for offense.

I think offensive players are always worth more in free agent market than defensive players. And I think we are gonna be cash strapped for the next 3-4 years to make any push for offensive players who are difference makers, especially if we lock up Jimmy and bring over Mirotic. Given that, we should put all our marbles on offense in this years draft, and hope that drafting a talented offensive player, albeit limited in some other areas, can lead to a poor man's klay Thompson, steph curry or kemba walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Durant and Lebron are no brainers. Love is having an amazing year in his own right. It's a toss up between Griffin and Davis. I went with Griffin because of team success, but I have no problem with Davis over him in second team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibbert has been the most dominant defensive player in the league this year and the numbers back that up. Noah is a worthy runner-up, though.

Jake Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I think some might argue it isn't necessarily part of defense, but it's hard for me to promote a center that averages less than 7 boards a game for DPOY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) Marc Gasol averaged 7.8 rpg last year and won. Hibbert is the #1 rim protector in the game for the #1 defense in the game. Not sure how he's not the DPOY. Hibbert is a valid argument. But it's hard to ignore the 7 RPG and that he only plays 30 MPG. He's the best interior defender in the game today, but his low minutes limit his impact, the his rebounding leaves a lot to be desired. One big difference between Hibbert and Noah is the latter can step out and guard the perimeter on occasions, Hibbert's lateral quickness extremely limited so he's a non factor in this area. Noah impacts the game in more areas while playing 5 more minutes a game. If you asked me two months ago, I would have said Hibbert hands down, but Hibbert and the Pacers D has fallen back to earth after such an amazing start.
