2006 NBA Draft
The Bulls have obtained Tyrus Thomas (LSU) and Thabo Sefolosha (Switzerland) in the first round of the 2006 draft. Here's what the Trib's Sam Smith has to say about each:
Thomas -- "Most inexperienced of the top prospects, but a player who soon may be able to change the game on defense. Bulls went through this potential thing with Curry and Chandler, but he's skilled and motivated."
Sefolosha -- "The Bulls get their guy. He is regarded as the best defensive guard in the draft, a guy the Bulls have been quietly eyeing who began getting attention. He projects as better than a guy they've been looking at for two to three years, Mickael Pietrus."
Thomas was exciting to watch during the NCAA tournament; and I know nothing about Sefolosha except that he's a 6'5" guard, which now makes him the Bulls' tallest guard.
I like Thomas, but the Bulls still don't have a real center (I'd rather have Tyson Chandler playing power forward).







Ben Wallace
This would certainly give the Bulls the true center they need:
