The Bulls select:
Emmanuel Griffin, C, St. Joseph's (I hadn't even noticed this about him until now, cool).

Yeah, I saw that he was from St Joes when I checked him out. A local boy, lol.

I'm happy with Griffin, he's the cornerstone of my franchise right now.

Griffin is the dark horse of this draft.
If his potential is legit, he should have been a top pick in this draft (if NJ was not set at the 4,5, I really think he would have gone #2).

I think, especially if he can be moved to the PF spot, Griffin could be the steal of the draft.  He has the skills and potential to become an absolute stud.

I think the Bulls would be better to keep the rookie at his natural position, and move Curry to PF.

Which, as I look at the Positional Changes, they did.

Griffin is good all around, with the potential to be great...  If his potential pans out, he is easily a franchise player.

Wow, a draft with 4 likely franchise players...  that is very impressive.   But you have to figure one of them wil not work out.  Who will it be??? lol

I think Tanner and Pettit are guarenteed, if one of the 4 don't pan out it will be either Ferry or Griffin.

It's a good idea. But I don;t think Players ratings change when they move, do they?

Because didn't someone move Kobe to C, and his defense stayed the same?

I think the defensive ratings change the most.  If Kobe moves to Center, his defense will suffer.

However, when a player is moved to a similar position (like when I moved Ben Wallace from c to pf) the ratings may not change as much, if at all.

Ahh, well, I thought we had a big discussion earlier about Kobe's A- defense as a 5.

I thought we had a discussion where Kobe's A- defense changes to C+ at center.
