That draft wasn't near as good as this on, nor is Conley, Jr. as talented as Gordon. He's great at running a team and is ultra quick, but he can't do the things Gordon can offensively. Also, if they had that draft again, Gordon wouldn't go #3. He'd go high, but not that high. All that said, I was praying the rumored Al Harrington for a draft pick (to take Gordon) was true at the time. I loved Gordon. My point wasn't to compare Gordon to Conley. It was to illustrate that the buzz around a player heading into the draft in May can change rapidly. I think we'll see a similar rise by Conley in June.

Fair enough. We'll find out if your eyes and scouts' eyes are in sync the end of June.

I've read comments from scouts and GM's that place him in the top 5. Lots of time between now and the draft. Don't take the mock drafts and ranking out there as gospel. I think Conley at 3 makes perfect sense for the Hawks. i really doubt he'd go ahead of horford and williams, so if they're set on conley, i think they should definitely explore trading down at least to 5 Ben Gordon was listed in the 7-10 range heading into the draft. His workouts blow Paxson and Skiles away and the Bulls took him at 3. Like I said, long way to go and there haven't been any workouts yet.

Not the NFL draft. Number 3 is worth a lot more than that.

Conley's their man at 3.

Kevin Mchale, Best GM in Sports

Serious cap issues. I suspect they'll try to trade Marion first.

We took a little more time than Dallas. I kid, I kid.

He's not at the top of my list but he's far from a finished product and a solid talent to nab at 9.

Wallace was playing with a back injury. Not sure about P.J.

A fine motivation.

Lottery is next Tuesday, May 22 at 7:30 PM CST on ESPN. Time to break out any and all good luck charms.

None of the Gators were known as "scorers" because that team was super deep, but Noah was as dominant statistically as anyone else on the Gators. His PER was 29 this season. Horford's was 29.9. Brewer's 22.8. No doubt he has his question marks. Most prospect do outside of Oden and Durant. I wouldn't want the Bulls to even look at him if they land in the top 3. But at 9? He'd be a solid pick-up.
-
At 9? Why? Long shot to be around then anyway. Can't score He's athletic, has great hands and an unearthly motor. He'll learn how. His shooting form is difficult to watch, but so is Shawn Marion's. It goes in within 15 feet.
-
I'm aware of that. That's why I listed him as a possibility for the Bulls at 9. Noah's stock has dropped, but it was top 3, 4 for most of the season. I predict he'll turn some heads at the combine, climb back up a bit, and get drafted in the top 6. i don't care as long as he's totally off the board by the Bulls pick (unless they pick Top 3 of course) Sam Smith has mentioned that Pax was really high on Noah last year more than once. If the Bulls end up picking in their most likely slot and Noah's there, I bet they take him, like it or not.

My personal realistic wishlist at 9: 1) Roy Hibbert 2) Mike Conley 3) Al Thornton 4) Spencer Hawes 5) Julian Wright I'm not sold on Hibbert. If Noah, Yi and Hawkes are all off the board at 9, I could live with him. Just wouldn't be excited about the pick. Love Conley. Would be hard to pass him up if he fell, but he won't. Thornton would be a reach at 9. My wish list at 9: 1) Noah 2) Yi 3) Hawes 4) J. Wright 5) Hibbert

Don't see the Bulls having the assets for that unless they're willing to dip into their Deng, Gordon, Hinrich core.

The Bulls are in the 9 slot heading into the lottery. So they could pick 1-3 or 9-12. Ninth is by far the most likely, of course. Unless its 1-3 I'd trade it. I'm not giving away a top 10 pick in this draft (the odds of the Bulls picking 11 or 12 are lower than them winning the lottery) unless I'm wowed by an offer.

How do you figure that? He had a post scorer in Curry up until two years ago. A lazy fat worhtless post scorer that is. I'm not a Curry fan by any means, but he's a very efficient post scorer. It's about the only thing he does well.
