Pretty interesting article, getting the player's take on who their team should draft and then occasionally responses from the draft pick, which leads to some funny quotes from those who think they dropped too far.

Here's the picks from Lindsay Hunter for us:

16. Bulls/Lindsey Hunter select ...

DeJuan Blair, C/PF, Pittsburgh

"He's just a flat-out beast inside," says guard Lindsey Hunter. "He brings that brute force that could help us down low right now, on offense and defense. I saw him play UConn, and he owned Hasheem Thabeet. But I like his soft touch around the basket. He's got the potential to score, too."

Doug Says: "His knees are definitely a question, but Blair is a beast."

26. Bulls/Lindsey Hunter select ...

Wayne Ellington, SG, North Carolina

"He's by far one of the best shooters in the draft," says reserve sniper Lindsey Hunter. "Coming off a pick, stop and pop, or catch and shoot, he's going to knock it down. He was great at Carolina, but now he'll have to create off the dribble. If he can do that, he'll be a force."

hmm
that could help us down low right now,

Sounds like he’ll be back? He brings that calming influence. I feel calm reading this.

Hunter-back court coach

Miller- big man player/coach. Pax has already identified the defensive coaches. All we need is an offensive coach. WHICH LEAVES VDN AS THE HEAD COORDINATOR!!!!

About a month ago before I overanalyzed the crap out of this draft

I had Blair and Ellington pegged as my choices for the Bulls’ two picks. After going back and forth on a number of different guys (Gerald Henderson, Terrence Williams, BJ Mullens, James Johnson, Nick Calathes, Tony Douglas, Danny Green, Jeff Teague, Earl Clark), I think I’m back to Blair at 16 if he’s available. I know he’s an injury and Sweetney syndrome risk but I just love the big fella’s game.

Sounds like Russell Westbrook might not be a happy camper if the Thunder pick Rubio
But don’t get Westbrook started on sliding to the 2 so Oklahoma City can tap Spanish star Ricky Rubio. Says he: “You trippin’.”

Blair has no ACL's

"I guess I can’t do anything if you’re just irrational, but to point it out and move on."
