ok, being a NC doesn't equal greatness. of course not. But he wasn't the 12th man on those teams either. He was a 2nd team All-American, 1st team All-SEC, Final Four MVP, etc. At the end of the day, all he is (so far) is a good college player. His NBA career has yet to be written. May I remind everyone how much people (at NSBB) HATED the Tyrus Thomas pick and HATED the Luol Deng pick.

That's poor logic, just because he got 2 banners doesn't validate a pick...otherwise Green and Humphrey would be lotto picks. (Keep in mind I like the pick...and I HATE Noah.) it's better than "Noah sucks" with no further explanation No, it's not. okay, this is ridiculous. Here: Michael Jordan sucked great argument, right? no better than: B.J. Armstrong is a legend, look at his rings. right, because Noah was as important to Florida as Armstrong was to the Bulls. brilliant analogy

Who would you have selected at #9 if you were Pax? "Noah Sucks" is about the most useless (and inaccurate) critique you can make. Maybe you don't like him, but clearly a two-time National Champ doesn't suck That's poor logic, just because he got 2 banners doesn't validate a pick...otherwise Green and Humphrey would be lotto picks.

And who was available at the #9 pick that is "guaranteed" to fill our need better than Noah?

only if the Bulls can trade up to #3 or #4, as there is virtually no way Boston passes on him at 5 Hey! We were both wrong! High five! well I think Boston would have taken Yi had this Ray Allen deal not presented itself

Biggio Playing Only One Game In Milwaukee

he should, actually, as if he hits it on the road, he's likely to be pelted with batteries instead of celebrated for his achievement -
i haven't voted at all
-
i'm just happy that the Bulls (unlike most of the other lottery teams) aren't looking to draft a starter. Barring any trades, Opening Day 2007 will be Hinrich/Gordon/Deng/Thomas/Wallace. A guy like Noah is an excellent bench option (considering he would probably start on a half dozen teams next year)
-
Not aware of a hair-length rule. Wallace's hair is pretty long. i think hair rules went out the window with Jerry "Cornrow" Krause
-
I can't drive, so its a fairly safe bet that I wasn't doing. You are the second person I know who can't drive...and old enough to drive. Interesting. I work with a 35 year old guy who has never had a driver's license
-
I don't know. I think Chad's underestimating Thomas' potential to become an offensive force. right. I think he's assuming that they would be 2 defense/rebounding first, scoring second big men on the floor at the same time. It didn't stop Skiles from playing Ben and TT together, so...
-
This is my concern. Ugly, yes, but I'm more worried that he's going to usurp Rasheed Wallace's title as biggest crybaby in the league

SWEET 16 - (3) PingHitter vs. (10) snoodmonger

Brian isn't playing UK. true dat -
too bad for you that Atlanta killed the 3-way trade that would have sent Stoudamire to Atlanta, Garnett to the Hawks, and the #3 and #11 to Minnesota
-
gotta go with Banedon here
-
only if the Bulls can trade up to #3 or #4, as there is virtually no way Boston passes on him at 5
-
i would be shocked if the top of the order stayed as is. ESPN had a draft preview show last night showing all sorts of possiblities, including Atlanta trading the #3 and #11, Minnesota trading up, 3 and 4 way trades, etc. They also speculated that if Atlanta keeps the #3, they could take Yi, as they're realizing the amount of money a Chinese player will produce (a la Yao)

Because they got two players AND money and we got an A ball player. In all honesty, we probably did get the worst end of the deal, but Its really worth it in the end. but Rotoworld's details are sketchy. They don't say 2 for 1 or how much money is moving. Still, it amounts to getting nothing for nothing. It's not like playing in the vast Dolphin Stadium will help Jock's power outage
