And With The 1st Pick....

Chicago takes?....who knows..but you really cant go wrong either way I feel....he's a fence playing..

Why Chicago should take Michael Beasley

-He's a legit post player...Joakim Noah,Aaron Gray,Drew Gooden and Tyrus Thomas all fill roles assuming the Bulls keep all of them...and none of these players are players you throw it to on the block and let them work to score points...Beasley is..and for the past few years they've passed on the position that they actually have missed in the past few years...a Power Forward

-He finished off one of the most dominant seasons by a freshman in a very long time...how can 26 pts and 12 rebounds not translate into the NBA?

Why Chicago shouldnt take Michael Beasley

-While he can play the post...he's only 6-9 and that can be viewed as undersized for the power forward spot...

-Some view him more as a small forward who can sometimes post up.But his ball handling isnt at the point to slide him to the 3 yet.Many people think that his range can be a fault and will see him fall in love with the jumper too many times rather than taking it to the cup.

Why Chicago should take Derrick Rose

-I remember a draft in the not to long ago when a particular team(who will remain nameless) passed on a particular good point guard..and took a small forward instead..and now...that point guard..is widely regarded as the best right now..you cant pass on point guards...not good ones anyway...

-He's from Chicago..hometown kids are always a nice story

-If you take Rose,you are sure to have plenty of options from other teams putting together nice packages for Chris Duhon(if he's still around) and Kirk Hinrich even though he had a down year.You can get an experienced post player to get running with right now and be back in the playoffs in no time.

-An issue with the Bulls has been since they are so athletic,they should run more...with Rose you can really do that...having Rose,Hughes/Gordon,Deng,whoever and Noah will work in the east..I'm sure of that.

Why Chicago shouldnt take Derrick Rose

-With the 1st pick why would you take a player who isnt what you need when there is another player who fits that need?..you only draft the "best" player when you have no other needs to fill or you plan to trade for something else...neither of which should happen here

-Assuming Kirk Hinrich doesnt have the head scratching effect like Barry Zito...he'll bounce back from his mediocre season to 17pts and 6 asts...thats not bad at all in my opinion at that position...I'm not sure what you are expecting from Rose in his career,but I'm not sure if you can build around Rose with that roster of players

-In college people are easily overlooking his assist to turnover ratio...which isnt good by any standards...it was 4.7 to 2.7....Kirk's was 6 to 2.1...against waay better competition.

-I can think of a few big time games he was in that you didnt know he was on the court...until the tournament when everything is overhyped and boasted..he has the ability to fade out on the court and reappear sometimes.
