The Chicago Bulls had a good season. Still, I can't recall notable late 1st round or 2nd round draft picks selected by the Bulls which had good success in the NBA? I know there are some. What picks can you name which fit this category?  It seems that the Chicago Bears scouts always find late round talent. What about Bulls talent scouting team?

It's about time the Bulls land a poor man's Tim Duncan or find another Carlos Boozer or Paul Millsap, or Manu Ginobili, etc...  

Bulls need some cheap affordable hungry talent, but, theses player will need some playing time.  
Thabo taken in top 20, yet didn't get the minutes a Paul Millsap received.  Was Duhon so much better than Thabo this year or is Skiles so resistant to change?

Does Skiles need to expand his coaching style similiar to Don Nelson?  Nelson truly benched starters that were not performing and kept them on the bench.  Will Skiles ever do that?  Do the Bulls need some internal competition to light some fire? I say "Yes"  Who is this GS Matt Barnes? or Andris Biedrins who kept Al Harrington benched?

Here are some ideas:

developmental league player, Elton Brown (6'9 250 lbs), age 23, (ppg 18.4/playoff 25) (rpg 9.6/playoff 11.7)

or Derrick Byars, Senior, from Vanderbilt (6'7 220 lbs) (ppg 17 - apg 3.4 - rpg 4.9 - )

or troubled Sean Williams (Boston College), (6'10" - averaged 12.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5 blocked )?

Who are some of the sleepers you know about?

Will it expose his under-developed game and reduce his trade value or allow him to develop an offensive NBA game?

Do you think he would dominate the D-League? After considering the possibility that he might not have been the best player on the LSU team when he was drafted? Nor is he ranked in the top 10 rookies this year?  Playing time and Skiles coaching, aside...

Is Tyrus really similiar to either E-Rod or JYD, both former Bulls, with outstanding leaping ability and great hustle work ethic, respectively?  But limited offensively?

March Madness approaches!  Time for E-Rod types to shine for that NBA contract! Did E-Rod dupe Krause into a nice contract (5 years 32 million for a reserve who average 7 ppg) during his playoff run with the Hornets?

Should Paxson allow Tyrus to wear a head ban, similiar to the one he worn in the NBA Dunk contest and also similiar to the one E-Rod wore?

March Madness approaches!  Last year if LSU didn't have the great run during tournament, and Tyrus still entered the draft do you think he would have been taken in 1st round, 2nd round or undrafted?

Did "unknown" Tyrus dupe Paxson? or was this a wise pick?  

Did it, Tyrus leaping ability, dupe you or do you still have faith the he will be a NBA star?

Potential

Unrealized expectations seems to have led to some kind of community wide
delusions by many. Even Ty2 doesn't like to use the dreaded word

http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/thomas_feature_060907.html

But is that enough to eclipse him from this NBA labeling
....

To quote Da Coach, as California Al mentioned in another post..

"One word you never hear used about the great ones is potential".


Now a quote from "In Paxs you trust"


"A lot of chatter out there was about picking an `NBA-ready' guy,
 Bulls GM John Paxson says. At another time, in another place,
 maybe that's a consideration. But when you are drafting No. 2,
 with a clear shot at far and away the best talent in the Draft,
 you don't pass on him. Not now and not ever.


Is Pax's speaking on Potential?

Stop the excuses about Ty2, don't say the "p" word again.

Play with a broken nose, stop blaming posey, Skiles cut some air
holes in the mask?

anyone remember pistons & rodman beating up on jordon and pippen before
the two got tougher...

Will this pick be on equal to a another horace grant?

Who else on the Bulls current roster can execute a killer cross-over move (freeze and/or break defender's ankles (figure-of-speech)) slash, drive, score to the basket (and/or get a call) move besides Kirk Hinrich??  

I believe it would be nice to have another player with this type of skill in critical situations?  Thabo?, I haven't seem him play!
Oh yeah! Gordon has the cross-over, needs a bit improvement on finishing when help defense comes, yet his floater scores consistently, but does usually draw a call.
