Daaaa Bulls!

Sweet Thread! The bulls are my team...

Anyways Hinrich is the best lol. Duhon was a good pick in the draft... played in the ACC, 4 yr player. Hinrich played 4 yrs too in the Big 12.

Duhon and Hinrich start while Ben Gordon is the sixth man.

Chandler and Curry are both only 21 or 22 and have grown alot this year. Curry is going to be good IMO... 7 foot centers that are athletic like him just dont grow on trees. Chandlers defense is a big reason why the bulls havent given up 100 pts in 26 straight games.

four year college players are overrated. there is a reason that they stay for four years, and it isnt because of their desire to graduate. they are just not as talented, and for the most part they will never be as good as the early entries and high schoolers. tim duncan is really the only guy who came into the league after the hs boom started who is a four year player and is dominant now.

and just to put a damper on the bulls winning ways, my celtics are the only team to beat them recently. (yes, i know, the celts suck)

your right some of them do suck but Hinrich was like a 3 or 4 yr starter at Kansas in the Big 12... I dont see how you can suck and start at a college basketball powerhouse that long.

we'll see about curry. i really think that he'll revert back to his lazy ways once he doesn't have something to prove. don't you think it's a little suspicious that this is a contract year and he's having his best one? he's had weight issues every since becoming a bull, and i'm just not quite sold on him yet.

as for chandler, there never was a question of work ethic just health. he's chronically injured, and if he can finally stay healthy, he's a great rebounder and defensive player (out of the rodman mold).

the bulls definatly are on the fast track to finally being a winning team, but i think chicago should hold their breath with curry..

the thing is, the college game is very different from the pro game, and skills dont necessarily translate from one level to the next. you can be a great college player, and then really struggle in the nba (laettner is the prime example of this, but there are plenty of others).

hinrich and duhon are good examples of this. they might turn out to be great nba players, but i am skeptical. they are highly rated because there are a number of people that like to rant and rave about four year players, but the fact is, they would have come out early if they were perceived to be good enough players to do so.

Duhon I agree he was a nobody basically in the draft even tho he was a starter for some great Duke teams and we just happen to draft him like late rd2.

Hinrich was going to be a lottery pick if we didnt take him so he must of been highly rated in college at one pt since he was one of the 1st college players taken that year.
