Too bad Golden State didn't pick him. Sounds like he would excel in the San Francisco area.

He guarded the point for his state-championship team in high school.

Even more impressive, he also possesses significant nunchuk, bow-hunting, and computer-hacking skills.

I read the Bulls became enamored with how well he took being benched on his middle school, high school, and college squads.

We're going to need to nuke this thread the minute he becomes clear he's pretty good.

He is good in the paint but not as good as his brother Sherwin.

You should've left on a high note.

Sounds from everything above like he will spend his rookie season playing mostly in the second unit and guarding the other team's top scorer in their second unit. And then maybe coming in for defense in the fourth quarter on those rare occasions where the Bulls have a big lead.

Meanwhile, Donovan and his bosses can spend the year figuring out which of the holdovers are worth keeping.

picking fourth is so much better than picking seventh

You forgot Florist

He looks like he AK has a steal with this pick. Wish I could have seen him in summer league but from his highlight tape it appears that he has a little game on him

That is outstanding.

Low hanging fruit.

You heard it first. AK made the sort of move that Paxson would never made. He gambled on a kid that has the potential to be a star and I'm glad that he did.

This is one of the worst mults we’ve had. You don’t even remotely post like LTG. Please stop.

This isn't a mult Zippy.

I actually think the kid will be a steal. Wish I had the summer league with which to assess him but from what I seen on highlight tape i think he can go.

He already has an NBA body, is only 19 and he has a few tools skill set wise from which to work. I don't think he will be a bust at all. I love the fact that ol AK didn't go for the "consesnsus" pick at that spot either. He trusted his "eyetest" instead.

Ok. Then you’ve dumbed down your posts. Sorry about that.

I actually think AK struck gold on this one. The whole he wasn't even a "starter on his college team" thus he has to be bust isn't a deterrent either. College coaches are notorious for trying to hide guys from the NBA. That's probably what happened here.

I wish I had the benefit of watching him play in the summer league before making an assessment but I don't.

The only person who could hold Michael under 30?

Dean Smith.

Yep and there probably was some of that going on here. College Coaches have historically shitted on guys in an effort to prevent them from going pro. I think that may have been what happened here.
