Curious about Johnson. I have the feeling he’s one of those guys whose game will translate really well…

Unfortunately I won't get the Summer League pass until this weekend, but I can
rely on my Bulls Brothers and Sisters to keep me updated.
I assume this game isnt on basic direct tv?
Tyrus Thomas is really Stromile Swift with a retarded mask on..Think about it Same height, same school, same athletic ability, same sucky ass work ethic, same no real position having retarded statement making fucker. News flash retard. Sloan doesnt like lazy ass jump shooters who have 1 for 17 games. Fuck u stromile.

VDN is answering questions on the broadcast, and when asked what Rose can improve on during his second season, he mentioned about five areas, and not a peep about DEFENSE.

by committee to take the last shot? no, you give it to rose to make a play. period.
if you give it to salmons, he will lose the ball to some guy that will hit a running jumper at the other end of the court to win the game.
deng needs to step up? no deng needs to get healthy first and then a post game.

VDN...
- we have to get healthy, Deng and Salmons in particular
- our top guys have to play well to make up for losing gordon
- Rose turnovers were up a bit in the playoffs, but good experience
- couldn’t be happier with Rose
- Derrick leadership will improve. his shooting and decision making need to improve. developing his skills to make other players better.
- ben was fantastic. VDN enjoyed coaching him
- Luol Deng has to step up at in-game situations. Salmons
- Tyrus and Joakim have been working out. Jo has put on weight.
- JJ has to refine his skills. Big body, needs to lose 10, but skills passing and ball handling his size are good.
- Taj a great kid. needs to add 10lbs
- Noah became a real pro as the year progressed.

I never said they were the solution to the problems the bulls have..
but so far i like what i see…….
I did not say that Gibson was better than Tyrus, but I like his hustle and his defense.
Randolf was doing whatever he wanted and when Gibson was put on him. Gibson shut him down.
Not in the NBA.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
I don't think he would.
He’d be playing against men, right? Not scrubs? Is this your first summer league game? Not a whole lot translates. They are basically showing us they can pat their heads and rub their bellies at the same time. So far our rookies can do that. Yay! Otherwise there isn’t much to be gotten out of it.

I’m watching to see what kind of skills these guy have. But you have to take it with a huge grain of salt. Rose was horrible in summer league last year. It meant nothing. The jump in skill level from summer league to NBA is enormous

Yeah it's summer league don't get me wrong but he made a nice
offensive rebound and post move….I’m not saying he’s the next tim duncan I just think he has some nice skill so far for a big. He had confidence and knows what to do.

Not the good ones...
My first cut method for looking at a whether a big is any good via Summer league play is to see if they foul and turn the ball over like crazy
I like what I see so far in the Rooks. They are both going to be very good.
Training Camp is going to be very interesting for Tyrus. These two will push Tyrus to get better, which is a good thing. We should have a very, very good Forward rotation with Tyrus, Loul, Taj and James.
I want to see if Tyrus can rise to the occasion.
well, after seeing what Rose did last year
I don’t give too much atention too. I was one of the people that got scared when I saw Derrick play in Orlando…
Whoa,
James Augustine has 17 points?
So confusing.

I don't think it's that surprising-
he’s a 6’3 guard with average quickness, an average handle, below average strength, and below average leaping ability. He’s a marvelous shooter, but as a point guard, that’s neutralized to an extent, and people can play up on him because he’s not a threat to beat them off the dribble. Maybe he’s Mike Bibby…but I doubt it.

From what I was reading on the Warriors' blog he's been finishing at the rim though.
Maybe they are just playing up on him but … he can hit shots that are a high degree of difficulty, too.

I think anyone who assumes everything about a guy from 1 summer league should take it easy
When it’s pre-season and he’s playing well, I’ll take note.

Considering he's known as more of a 3 than Tyrus is
it’s not like this is some ridiculous jump to conclusions here

I know gasoline is a liquid but I’m pretty sure it isn’t flammable and the odor gives me a natural high.'" - Tyrusmancrush
i didn't assume "everything about a guy"
i actually watched the game. Watched him dribble up court comfortably. Watched him move around on the perimeter. Watched him lead a fast break and deliver a pass. Watching – what a novel concept.

i also should add
that this was more tongue in cheek ribbing of tyger and scotter. not something seriously offered as proof.

Johnson got robbed on that 3ball
holy crap
Jerry Reinsdorf: Where bidding $148 Million on a bankrupt hockey team happens, but not re-signing your best basketball player happens.
and Taj crashes the board and draws a foul

bad possession

the bulls guards are awful.

Well...
pretty damn entertaining, and encouraging play from the rooks.

It's only one Summer League game
But I’m starting to think that Forman did a nice job drafting Johnson… And Gibson has been a nice surprise
so far they look pretty good..
considering their draft positions…16 and 26? I remember Sefolosh and Tyrus kinda sucking in summer leagues..mostly Sefolosha

Good:

Taj Gibson
Augustine

Everyone else. Really, really bad.

I would take James Augustine circa 2005 over Aaron Gray, no joke

problem with
gibson and augustine…. anthony randolph scored 42 pts.

and 9 and 7 fouls each
"What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so."
why did randolph
even play so many minutes? Its summer league, does the guy really have to prove that he can dominate playing a bunch of scrubs when he is already in the rotation?

david b. thorpe: I think Ben Gordon taught Johnson how to shoot before jetting up the road. His arc is pro perfect.
“david b. thorpe Bulls fans, can you explain why Linton Johnson is playing in this game, while some talented young prospects ride pine?”
- No david, we can’t explain it. Linton Johnson III needs to pack his bags and hit the road.
by Basketball Smurf on Jul 14, 2009 9:06 PM CDT up reply actions
and why should Bulls fans have to explain it?
We don’t make the rosters..if we did it would be full of the Zack Randolfs,Kurt Hinrich, Jermaine O’neil and Allen Iverson..of the world.

It gives us room for Pargo and Hunter.
Can’t miss out on what they would bring.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
We could have killed 2 birds with one stone if we simply drafted Douglas...
We’d be under the cap more and have an extra roster spot too… But that said, I’m not mad at Taj. He could be ok… I guess.
if anyone wants to write a recap
I’ll be happy to steal post it (if I value your analysis)

It's a good thing you didn't watch...
All the Bulls love coming from the analysts would have surely melted your frozen heart:)
JJ is a badass and Thorpe is in love with him
Somewhere, Tyger might actually be smiling.

Well
Recap
JJ showed that he can handle the ball, he he went coast to coast a few times- one ended in a sick dunk! his shot was nice, he showed he had some range, 1-2 from the 3pt line and a few shots here and there. He inbounded the ball i think everytime (for sam smith), overall he did a pretty good job and im excited to watch him next season.
Taj Gibson proved to everyone that he was who we thought he was, a hard worker, he had 7 offensive boards with a few putbacks he never gave up on a play, he had a few moves inside, and some OK defense.. couldnt contain Randolph though, he had 42 points a summer league record.
James Augustine looked pretty good with he was 10-11, his inside game looked pretty good, but he had 7 fouls and he got beat up by randolph. But i but he seemes like he could develop into a solid bench player.
The guards sucked.
Roberson jacked up threes and didnt seem to have a good flow of the game, neither did demarcus, but demarcus had a few good shots here and there..
Linton Johnson played some scrappy D..
yea that about it.. basically James Johnson seems like a good pick
"Game 7 of the 2011 Finals.. 10 seconds left in the game, the score is tied up 92-92.. Kobe with the ball he drives in.. IS BLOCKED by bosh, Rose picks it up Runs it down Throws up a pass to Wade.. WADE SCORES! GAME OVER ! BULLS WIN BULLS WIN!"
38 fouls. yikes
it is so frustrating that the best place to chat about the bulls is dominated by a whiny drama queen moderator with a man crush on an average SG......6 recs

Does anyone else look at Anthony Randolph and wish Tyrus Thomas had that...
…type of upside? This guy looks like he’s gonna be Lamar Odom on steroids (not literally of course)…with attitude!! He will be downright nasty in the years to come.

AR should have a been a top-5 pick at worst
