basketball looks :: the association 07 :: chicago bulls
I’m not sure if the bulls are there, yet. But they could be and really soon. They’ll also have to pay a lot of guys, a lot of money which already includes Ben Wallace’s albatross.
The below thoughts have not been approved by the NBAPA’s Lupercia Ten, Assistant to the Director of Security. This will be really short.
- Joakim is a freak of nature and was a steal at 9. Reports of him putting on 20 lbs of muscle in the off season are a direct response to draft commentators saying he may be too skinny to play the 4. He wasn’t weak, but a lack of mass is tough to work around unless one is KG so this could make the difference. It’s possible that Chicago could enter into a similar scenario as the Broncos did last year. If Jo gets integrated successfully in a relatively short period of time or if Big Ben doesn’t start the season in 2nd or 3rd gear, fans and the front office could put the screws to Scott Skiles.
- More Jo. He’ll be a great foil for Tyrus. Initially it seems possible for an Amare and Shawn-type combo trading three pointers for sheer imposition of will. The former will have to all the sudden develop into Connie Hawkins impersonators to get that soft butter smoothness in the open floor with the ball in their hands. Maybe somewhere in the middle of them and early Ducan and Robinson and a lot more roughness around the edges.
- Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich should have the chance to throw and insane number of successful lobs this year. 2+ assists per game as a team is realistic and a hell of a group to attempt a rebound in between.
