B-U-S-T

As a Bulls fan, the lottery seems to have gone down perfectly for them. Toronto, who won the top pick, looks to be infatuated with Andrea Bargnani, the latest European player compared to Dirk. After that, the Bulls are on the clock. Sitting firmly in the draft Lamarcus Aldridge camp, I badly want the Bulls to avoid drafting Tyrus Thomas. His unpolished game and shocking NCAA hype aside(he only had double digit points in one of LSU's five games), his latest unjustified action toward our friends at Draft Express show his immaturity. Having an extremely young team already, the Baby Bulls do not need another petulant whiner(ahem, Eddy Curry). With an attitude like this, Thomas better sign an endorsement deal with a moving company, because he looks destined for a vagabond career. Thomas, here's some free advice from YCS: shut up and workout against top competition and prove yourself. Shutting out a respected media company just because they have you, gasp, going #7 in their mock draft(we should all be scorned this way) proves you cannot handle the adversity that comes with an NBA lifestyle. Even if he had a great attitude, his lack of an offensive game and thin frame should scare teams with top five picks away, as they need someone who can make an immediate impact. Now, we can that see that the hype has already gotten into Mr. Thomas's head, and some lucky team looks to be in for many headaches these next few years.

I've always been of the "take the best value regardless of position" philosophy, even in the NBA where a top rookie can have more immediate impact than other sports. I'm still not sure I'm totally sold on Aldridge either, and #2 is too high to take Brandon Roy or Adam Morrison (whom I prefer). If the Bulls keep that pick, I know the expectation would be to take Aldridge, Thomas, Bargnani, or Gay. Having said all that, packaging the pick might not be a bad idea, in my opinion.
By the way, I see they currently have your boy Steve-o going at #27. Nice.
