Chicago Bulls draft

The Chicago Bulls had a really good year and did well in the playoffs without Deng.  With Deng back at full strength and Derrick Rose a year older, another step towards the title can be made.  Those two things should happen.  What has Bulls fans holding there breath right now is free agent Ben Gordon.  With out him, the team takes a step backward.  The Bulls have the 16th and 26th picks in the draft.  If Gordon goes, they could use these picks to replace him through the draft or a trade.  Of the past 14 drafts, 6 bench players and 3 starters have been produced.  2 of the starters have become all stars.  8 players have been found with the 26th pick.  4 became starters and one was an all-star.  So, both picks have some weight to them.  The Bulls could maybe use one pick to find a solid bench player to develope.  But, they really need Gordon to stay.
