Please allow me to channel my inner Swami Murph as I play "I predict..."Now, say it like you mean it.
I PREDICT...
...that with the first pick in the NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls will select Derrick Rose, guard, Memphis.
Not that I necessarily agree with the idea of drafting the local product over the low-post scorer the Bulls have been searching for.
If the Bulls do select Rose with the No. 1 pick, I fully expect them to take a big man with their early second round pick (No. 39 overall). The Bulls could theoretically select forward Joey Dorsey in the second round, making it an all-Memphis draft night. Indiana forward D.J. White, a first-round talent derailed by injuries and being under Kelvin Sampson, will also likely be available at that point in the draft.
If GM John Paxson is reading this blog, has a stroke of genius and decides to choose Beasley, expect the Bulls to go guard in the second round. Maybe Beasley's Kansas State teammate Bill Walker, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard/small forward, would intrigue Pax. Washington State's Kyle Weaver, IUPUI's George Hill and Mississippi State's Jamont Gordon are other prospects that mgiht pique the interest of the Bulls' front office.
