Built Ford Tough Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 And it is by a large margin... http://www.in-the-game.org/?p=14861 Top 5 in the list is: 1. Jonas Valanciunas (2010/2011)2. Nikola Mirotic (2010/2011)3. Danilo Gallinari (2007/2008)4. Ricky Rubio (2009/2010)5. Marko Popovic (2004/2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Glad to see Mirotic on the list too. Hopefully he will make me stop complaining about the draft-day trade when he arrives in Chicago. Jonas V is a stud though, I had my doubts before but all of it is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bulls did well for themselves with that trade. Obviously it sucks that you won't see any dividends from the deal for 4 years, but Mirotic was, at one point in time, considered to be a lottery pick and around February (I think) Givony from DX said he could see Mirotic sneak into the top 10. A lot of scouts seemed to really like him as he absolutely rocketed up the draft boards, but once the considerable buyout was known and it became clear that he wouldn't be coming over for a long time, he started falling again. For a team like the Bulls, though, they can afford to just stash him overseas for the next 3 or 4 years because they don't need him. I think he will become a very nice role player when he comes over.

Check my Stats Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I was meh on this pick initially, but it is looking more and more like he got a sick player here. Call me biased but I honestly feel like I wouldn't deal Jonas for any other player in this past draft not named Kyrie Irving. Hopefully he can continue to get better, and this year's draft turns out as good as it is supposed to be, and there is no season and we get some sort of cool lottery that ends up with us picking in the top 5 again... I am worried that if we play BC might make a stupid move and take us out of the top 5, a lockout definitely prevents that But yeah, Jonas is definitely making the future a lot more encouraging, just gotta find a new home for Bargnani. Myck and Jonas on the PnR anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
