This is the first of many players to workout in front of the bulls staff and try to impress them in any way that they can. Here is the link for all of the upcoming workouts(it is small for now but as soon as they find out they will post more). I presonaly like Hawes and i think that he would be good in a bulls uniform and would help this team out termendously in the low post next to wallace.

So he's staying in the draft? If so, thank goodness.
"I think I bring a rare skill in a big guy, not only being able to score on the block, which in the NBA is hard to come by, but also, being able to pass. I say with that combination of skills, I think that anybody that runs a team can see that value, especially in a big guy because it brings then a whole new angle. I don’t think I’m a great defender yet, but I’ve made great strides there, being able to block shots. I think my main skills are on the offensive end, being a big guy that can shoot it, handle it a little bit, score, and especially pass." Just the thought of it... |

Does Hawes have a chance of falling to us at #9?

Does Hawes have a chance of falling to us at #9? It is highly likely (actually, closer to probable, though it's hard to predict the ineptitude of some of these teams) that he will be there unless something changes between now and then, like if he works out really well or if he performs better than expected at the athletic testing combine... |

So it seems he's staying in the draft.
Between him and Yi, those are the guys I want. I'd be surprised if Yi fell though. I think Hawes would be a great complement to the outside shooting young guns of the Bulls. |

Personally I think Hawes would be a better fit from what I understand about Yi. He would be a nice fit if we had another banger on the block, but we don't. We need an inside presense BAD.

Does Hawes have a chance of falling to us at #9? The way I do it, I think the only way that one of these guys not named Noah doesn't fall to us is if no one drafts either Conley, Brewer, and Wright in the top 8. In no obvious order: Oden Durant Horford B. Wright Jinlian J. Wright Conley Brewer Hawes Somewhere in there is probably most of your top 9, possibly with a Noah or a Surprise pick thrown in. So it is possible that both Hawes and Yi will be gone, but that basically requires 6 big men to go in the top 8, which to my eyes is pushing it a little bit. |

I really see Hawes dropping to us... he's a white boy, and everyone knows that tall white guys suck.

He is the only player that I have heard of so far who has a polished low post game. This is what the team needs. He will have to get stronger and get better defensively. He should blend in well with the core group and be ready for a championship run in a year or two. |

From the times Ive seen him play he does move well for a big man but lacks quickness. Not too good of a defender but he does get position on opponents. Hes a great scorer down low but tends to use some of the same moves. Otherwise besides that if he can bulk up Ill be interested to see his progress until the draft.

So, just out of curiosity, how would folks say that Hawes compares to a couple of other big guys around the league when they came out. I.e. maybe a Chris Kaman, or a Nene, or a Darko, etc.?

I'd take any of those 3 on the Bulls right now, especially Darko. He has everything the Bulls need. He's big, he has low post moves, he can score the ball within 7 feet of the bucket, he blocks shots pretty well, and the fact that he's only 19 means he can still get taller and get much bigger and stronger. It's a can't-miss for the Bulls, IMO. |

Hawes has to be the most boring prospect in the draft. I really hope we just trade the pick if we dont get a chance at conley.
