Perhaps, but I would imagine that would change if the Bulls are targeting LeBrick.
I had a dream we drafted this guy last night ha

This looks like the Spurs' guy for a bunch of reasons (not the least of which, he's from the high desert and Fresno -- like Bowen.)
The only question is, do you let a guy like this go somewhere else then grab him on the rebound (like Bowen). Or can he hold his own right away.
he will be gone before 20
I'll just cross my fingers, hold my breath and hope this kid is available @ #20.
^^^ it is worse look at what happened with blair, but yea if hes gone by 20 we will get hayward
The Spurs issue is lack of shooting and athleticism. Hayward addresses one, but not the other. The Spurs need more speed, quickness and athleticism on the perimeter. Hayward is simply too slow. I'd rather the Spurs pass on him.
Besides, Hayward is supposedly so well coveted by the Pacers, I'd be very surprised if he were to fall that far.
You also forgot about Dunleavy.
I'm sure Utah would love to take a crack at him too.
why? Bulls have only 6 players under contract, they have room at every position. and you want shooters and roadrunners around Lebron. George's top qualities are shooting and running.
George makes sense for Bulls only he can play SG. If he can't, I don't see them drafting him while they still have Deng and James Johnson at that spot. They should go with either Xavier Henry or James Anderson.
Bulls will want (and need) shooters in the first place. Deng and Johnson can't shoot the 3 ball. (but you can play Deng at SG, if alongside a quick SF to cover the SG). and Bulls will rethink Johnson anyhow.
there is also a good chance they end up in a S&T scenario for whoever FA they can get. either Deng (salary) or Johnson could very well become part of such a package. sure Henry makes more sense. (not only b/c of position, he is the much better player anyhow). doubt that he will be there at #17.
Seems to be gone by the time the Spurs pick in the three main mocks I track regularly (ESPN, DX, NBADraft.net). Obviously it's early in the draft evaluation process and plenty of misinformation is flying around all the way up to the draft...but he looks just out of reach at this point.
His stock is going up at the NBA Combine. The anlalysts on ESPNU speculate that he could go as high as 5.
Some (older) mocks have him going as low as early second round. Doubtful.
I think the Spurs would take him if they could.
George absolutely makes sense for the Bulls. However, what doesn't make sense is why they allowed one of their best, and most clutch shooters, Ben Gordon, to simply walk away in free agency last summer? Then they wondered WHY they had no perimeter scoring. It's absolutely amazing.
Yes, I realize that just last year a seemingly impossible thing happened. That's why my original comment came with A LOT of hedging.
Hey. That's copyright infringement. There is one, and only one Beast. And we all know who that is.
Top 4 guys being mentioned by NBA teams as looking good in the Combine today: Eric Bledsoe, Paul George, Gordon Hayward, Solomon Alabi.
Get him on the team, that should learn em good; if he thinks arms are useful, and all . . .Hey. That's copyright infringement. There is one, and only one Beast. And we all know who that is.
...and the general consensus believes him to be the next Trevor Ariza?
Sounds like this kid's playing himself out of our range...

Paul George, Eric Bledsoe, Ryan Richards were good today at Draft Combine. Look for a full report later.
^^
problem is, half of the projected 1st rounders have pulled out of the combine.
so it's becoeming more and more worthless.
btw. Hornets have canceld all interviews with players who have pulled out. great reaction. problem is, most other teams won't have the balls to follow. in the end Hornets will have hurt themself.
down the road the agents are just killing the predraft camp. a shame. first the 5 on 5, now the combine. next they will refuse to measure their clients, because the result might hurt their stock. "I tell you, my client is a 6'5'' PG with a 7'1'' wingspan. he has a 45' vertical and runs the 3/4 court under 3 seconds. trust me."
