For whatever it's worth...

David Aldridge and a former scout on NBA TV were both highly positive about the Taj pick. In any case, the Blair issue is a non-issue, as the Bulls (as well as many other teams) were simply playing percentages. If he happens to stay sound, then the Spurs will prove lucky, but I’d bet that he won’t for very long…

which would be cool

except for the fact that 24 year olds who dont even dominate in college have a tendency to not be around for long… because they arent that good.

James Johnson

don’t let that slow spoken voice fool you.

I beleve…

This guy’s personality is unconscious, loves to laugh and entertain even himself. He’ll keep the locker room fluid with more than enough humor. I bet he’s also very immature, but DRose will love his personality because these two guys have things in common.

man up!

Johnson's versatility and Gibsons' length and energy..

"all we need is Lebron and Bosh and we’ll be all set"

How many teams can say that?!?
Man, we’re lucky.

I highly recommend reading the transcript that is linked to above.

The unintentional comedy is off the charts… !

I think I'm going to like the James Johnson Era.
Reporter: James, there is some talk about your martial arts and kick boxing, and that you would beat everyone up on the court. But you suggested before it helped you with balance and a lot of things involving basketball. What does that help, what can that help you with?

James Johnson: I’m flexible. A lot of the positions in the martial arts are the same positions as basketball. Like the defensive stance, you have to slide to kick, slide to jab. That helps my push off. It also helps me with discipline. I’m not going to beat everyone up on the court because I can. If I get fouled, I’ll go to the free throw line, that’s it.

Reporter: But you could?

James Johnson: Probably so.

Reporter: So between football, martial arts, and basketball, what else did you do out there?

James Johnson: Golf.

James Johnson

has the second most amount of upside of the Bulls players. By a substantially wide margin.

But who has the most tremendous updise potential?

And who has the most “length ability”? These are the real questions.
