The Chicago Bulls have the 2nd pick in the NBA Draft... who will they select?

I'm a Bulls fan.  I agree with "lifeless64" - they have to go big.  If the got a good big man, they could become a dominant team in the East.  I'm hopin they get one of these three: Tyrus Thomas, LaMarcus Aldridge, or Joakim Noah.  Noah prob wont go pro (is this official yet?), then it comes down to Thomas vs Aldridge.  I like Bargnani (baby-Nowitski) too but he doesnt have enough inside presence despite his 7'0" frame.\nFinal choice - LaMarcus Aldridge.

It is rumored Jermaine O'neal could be on his way to Canada to become a Raptor along with the Pacers #17 pick, in return the Pacers would get forward Charlie Villanueva and the #1 overall pick in the draft-  There is also talk of O'neal possibly being moved to Chicago for their #2 pick- the Pacers are adamant about picking up Adam Morrison from Gonzaga-\n\nI don't expect either of these trades to happen, but if one does go down it will be the Indiana-Toronto deal...It is said that Chicago has promised Tyrus Thomas they will take him at #2.

KG won't go to the Lakers...period. First, the Wolves have repeatedly said they won't trade him.  Second, if they do trade him, it appears the Bulls would get him.  Still, that's doubtful.  Second, even if KG were on the block, the Lakers have NOTHING to offer for him unless they want to part with Kobe.  \n\nSo, moving on. \n\nIverson might be traded to Boston, but it's more likely he'll go to a team outside of that division.

The Iowa Hawkeyes... just kidding... ummm... West Virginia... they suprised me.\n\nGreat job stealing my idea :-P No.. this is good stuff! Plus you get bonus points for having Ohio State #1. (I live in Columbus) You know J.J.'s bro has one like this too now about who the best players in the NBA are. Thanks for your picks on the...\nUNOFFICIAL YAHOO ANSWERS MOCK NBA DRAFT\n... right now the Suns are on the clock with the 21st pick\nLink: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvtMn1SDCfKJCaB.okG49__sy6IX?qid=20060614211829AAjWSwJ

It could happen in the 2nd round.  I think Maurice Drew will be taken in the 2nd round, if he should drop to the third round some team will be very happy.  He can return kicks, has a fire plug like body which is tough to get a good lick on. His only question mark is can he take the pounding, he actually has a lot of bulk for a short back.  He is short but is big for his size, well over 210 lbs.  Plus I am pulling for him since he is from my home town of Antioch.

I'll pick the Lakers because they are the team I've always cheered for ~ they exceeded expectations last year and really had a nice push into the playoffs. They were the second youngest team last year, I think this year they will be very good. \n\nNow. On to reality! \n\n1. Chicago Bulls look really good. \n2. LeBron's Turn, the world wants this kid to win, win, win. \n3. Miami will tank. They relied on emotion and a fourth-quarter D-Wade every time, this can not go on. \n4. I'd keep a wary eye on the Mavericks, they are very hungry and well coached. \n5. It's the sunset years for the Spurs, so sad to see, what a great decade and what a great team. \n6, Steven Nash won't three-peat the MVP, he's just too old and rickety. If Amare doesn't return to his old self, the Suns are way too soft in the middle. \n7. The Clippers are better than everyone thinks -- I think they'll shock a few teams who discount them in the playoffs. \n8. Detroit and the Pacers both are headed south. \n9. I have a soft spot in my heart for Houston. I like Yao and Tracy, didn't they pick up someone? Shane Battier maybe? Some role player who'll really help that team. I've not seen them yet this year though. \n\nSo, I'll pick the Lakers over the Bulls in six games. Phil Jackson is a much better coach than anyone has given him credit for. Like Riles in the Showtime era, they think he just rolls the ball out on the court. Phil knows the 82 game season is just that, a long tune up time for the playoffs. His teams are usually peaking going into the playoffs instead of exhausted like so many eager coaches teams. Kobe proved himself with 81 points and a scoring title -- hopefully he's finally matured into an adult.

1.Toronto- LaMarcus Aldridge\n2.Chicago- Tyrus Thomas\n3.Charlotte- Brandon Roy\n4.Portland- Adam Morrison\n5.Houston (from Atlanta)- Rudy Gay\n6.Minnesota- Andrea Bargnani\n7.Boston- Randy Foye\n8.Atlanta (from Houston)- Shelden Williams\n9.Golden State- Rodney Carney\n10.Seattle- Patrick O'Bryant\n\nwatch out for the Raptors to either trade the 1st pick to Indiana in some sort of package for Jermaine O'Neal. or for them to trade down to the 3 or 4 spot.

only to the teams who use the draft to get stand up athletes with morals and intelligence....otherwise anyone who needs a shooter will take him...

Bulls, i want thm to get Brandon Roy, hes a 6'6 shooting guard and the Bulls need a big guard to guard against other teams big guards, plus i can't forget how he killed my beloved Fightin Illini in this years tournament, dude is a ROY candidate.

They need a point guard so a guy like Nemanja Aleksandrov would be perfect. As for those of u who said JJ Redick, the Lakers would never pick JJ because in case u havent noticed shooting guard is one position they dont need.

Da Bulls, are in the best position of any up-and-comin team. They have players that play hard every minute of every game. They also have proven winners from college. But this is a very important off-season, they have lots of money to work with this year and need to make the right moves. Must keep Deng, Gordon, Nocioni, Duhon

I would also pick Rodney Carney because he can play Defense.  Can lock down the opposition with his speed and long reach.  Held J.J. Redick to 0 points in the second half versus Duke this year.  Incredibly athletic great speed and incredible ups.  Can knock down the long range shot and also score on mid range floaters.  Excels in fast break situations.  Has an all-around, complete game.\n\n        He can play the SF which is what Golden State Needs. Although he could play 2 guard Warriors have 2 many Guards. Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Derek Fisher, Pietrus. 2 great and 2 decent guards. They have one good guard in Dunleavy but I think Mike could start for the beggining of  the season but sit out as 6th man for 2nd half of the season. \n\n        I do think they should trade down for 2 decent picks. Because in this draft you can get the same quality in lower picks. I think it would be smarter because they could get a forward and a center.\n\n         O yea and why would they want J.J Reddick when they have a fast team. Yea Just throw in an unathletic player to ruin the flow. That is another reason i think they should pick Rodney Carney he is good on the Fast Break and Can run with Baron and J Rich.

Possibly Memphis ....thats from espn articles. he would be cheap and possibly a steal for some team..... I've also read that maybe New Jersey as Kidd's backup.

the bulls  are leanning towards marcus aldridge of texas and tyrus thomas of lsu both PF/C that are tremendous athletes aldridge 6-11 and wieghs 237 pounds would be the better choice for the bulls roster as tyrus weighs only 211 and is a inch shorter than aldridge tyrus thomas is the best overall athlete in the draft i think they would grab him over aldridge because he goes with tyson chandler nicely but then where do u put luol deng??thats why they want a larger back court in brandon roy who averaged 20.2 pts a game for the wildcats but is not a good sharpshooter or 3 point shooter so id say take aldridge omly because he can play C for them and is bigger than tyrus and they could start deng-chandler-gordon-hinrich-aldridge but its a tough call the picks would be 2 good 2 lose so i dont see them trading the picks because some scouts said that roy and tyrus thomas would be most ready in the NBA so i have know idea what could happen on draft day

He's coming back to Chicago to play for the Bulls. Or at least, that's my fantasy. The Bulls need a couple of big men and one good perimeter player to compliment Noce and Luol Deng (if he doesn't get traded) and they'll reach the 4th seed.

I think it's JJ Redick of Duke.  He's going to win Player of the Year over Morrison of Gonzaga by a couple votes.
