Basketball Evaluation

@cbefred Okoro and Pat don’t have length. 6’5 and 6’6 definitely undersized as far as height for their positions

The current SLAP roster breakdown. (Lower case letters indicate some of the attribute) Josh Giddey - S.l.p. Patrick Williams - S.l.a. Matas Buzelis - S.L.A. Rob Dillingham - A. Noa Essengue - S.L.a. Tre Jones - a.P. Isaac Okoro -S.l.A.P. Jalen Smith - S.L.p.

@KOT4Q Isaac Okoro is a good player. Could end up having a Dyson Daniels type of season with the Bulls. I like this one.

Btw, the bulls were offered a first round pick for Lonzo at the deadline. All they had to do was take on Marcus Smart.

Noa Essengue was a great pick -Great production on a Championship team in the German BBL at 17-18 years old. Proven winner that will contribute immediately. -Biggest strength is transition scoring and the Chicago Bulls are 2nd in Pace via Giddey and Ball.

@_utilitysports He doesn’t have to be the “Point Guard” they just drafted Saraf,Traore, and for the time being also have DLO

With the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets select Egor Demin Draft Grade: C- Great playmaking feel, but a ‘point guard’ who can’t dribble or shoot is definitely an interesting strategy in 2025.

@BullsSource @ShamsCharania Buddy, take a deep breath, we got the 55th pick back. If you already were committed to drafting a player that you knew nobody else had on their radar, would you take the extra money and still make that pick at 55? Yes, yes you would or else you’d be stupid.

@ShamsCharania Cash Considerations. New Front Office, Same Results. Perfect example why under this ownership we'll never win a title again. It's all about the money & pretending that you're trying to build a contender. Any team trading picks for $ isn't serious about building a contender.

The Los Angeles Lakers are moving up in the second round of the NBA Draft tonight, acquiring the No. 45 pick from the Chicago Bulls for No. 55 and cash, sources tell ESPN.

@JCowleyHoops I’d take him on the Bulls in a heartbeat. Brought the Knicks outta poverty, this far from a KAT issue. This a Pacers are nasty issue.

Highest paid player in the series ... unplayable on defense once again... choke at the line and 0-for-the-night from 3. Pussy KAT strikes again in the biggest game of his career. Please trade him this offseason!

@KOT4Q It’s not hard.He said he doesn’t believe in tanking as a strategy, instead developing what you already have by teaching winning habits. Worry about the draft afterwards. Stars and busts are littered all over from 1-60 it’s the front office job to find them. Top 5 doesn’t equal ⭐️

In the 5 years AK has said some insane things. This is now a new #1. What is he talking about?

@JCowleyHoops We competed till the very end and the players we want to develop got valuable experience. You can draft at 1,2,3,4 and take a bust. You can draft at 13,14,15 and draft a star. Small minded Joe.

So no 14% chance at Cooper, no real shot at one of the top 4 - yeah, I have VJ in there - and no postseason visit. All this for one extra game? The organizational malpractice continues ... but you all clap away .... baaaahhhhhh
