It would have been interesting to see how history would have played out if the Bulls had not had the injury to Jay Williams and looked at drafting someone like Chris Kaman or Josh Howard instead. (I know Kaman was already off of the board, just sayin')
Well...a lot of that depends on how good Williams would have been. The big question is what it would have done to our 2004 draft. Would Phoenix have given up the 7th pick if they thought we had a chance to be a playoff team that year? Of course not. Would we have drafted 3rd? If Williams had a better season that year than we got from Hinrich, it could have added up to more wins, and thus cost us both Deng and Gordon, or at least 1 of the 2.
