Killingsworth...Batista...Dials.

I'd bring Batista or Killingsworth in asap. I think I mentioned the possibility that Killingsworth, Batista and Pittsnogle maybe going undrafted.

Marco Killingsworth will never play in the NBA, he's 6'6" 235 at PF and has 19% body fat. That's right 19%, he's a non-athletic blob of a man.

There's also a reason why Dials, Killingsworth and Batista went undrafted, they're fat, short and bad, especially Marco.

I'm still shocked Pittsnoggle didn't get drafted, he's 6'10" and can shoot pretty damn well from the outside, that should be enough for him to hang on in the NBA, if I didn't hate him with a passion I might be for bringing him in.

Dude...Batista is 6-9 or 6-10...and I thought Killingsworth was 6-8. Not that bad of players IMO...especially Killingsworth who has a nice offensive game. I think a lot of the reason guys like this go undrafted is GMs trying to be the next "slueth" and uncover some Euro gem. With only 2 rounds...of course guys like this will slip through.

Barkley was actually only about 6-4 or 5 at the 4.

Maybe that's why Pitts didn't get the call...shoots well from the outside. Not really where you want your PF at, which is where he usually ends up.

Kevin pittsnogle would be a good pick up for us. With all the moves that pax will make over the summer ( trading wise) he might end up being a decent backup center

Pittsnoggle, as hated as he is, would be a perfect fit for the Bulls offense. The guy can bury the outside jumper and would prevent the opposing big man from jumping the high screens to double team the guard handling the ball for the Bulls. He could either pop the J, or put the ball on the floor to the rim.

Marco Killingsworth wouldn't really help this team at all, as they have undersized big men already.

The point everyone seems to forget when using Barkley as the prime example of undersized bigmen being incredibly dominant in the NBA is that Barkley is quite possibly the most freakishly athletic player for a person of his size. He was short as hell, round and blubbery but could jump out of the freaking gym.

Batista, Dials and especially Killingsworth are not athletes, they were big bodies that managed to dominate the Big 10 and the WAC. Killingsworth measured in at 6'6" at the pre draft camps with a body fat of 19%, he's short and fat. Not an athlete, it has nothing to do with stashing Euros it has to do with these guys being dominant college players who's games do not translate to the NBA.

Did David Noel get drafted?

39th Overall to the Bucks, an athlete of his caliber does not go undrafted.

Dials is not that short and was a bruiser in the post, i'd like to see him at least on our summer league team

Killingsworth is a poor man's sweetney, and man is that man poor

Dials is 6'9" in shoes, though he's not that long. He's worth a shot.

Killingsworth is way too small.

If we didn't just get two more SF's, I'd say take a shot at Steven Smith. He's a bit of a tweener, but he's over 6'9" in shoes and weighs 238. The guy was a scoring machine in college. He's not the greatest athlete, but he can shoot and his a high basketball IQ.

Ive always had a love for mr ray and marcos from watching both on tv. But it aint gonna happen because we dont need them

If we had finished the mock draft, this is the guy I was going to take with the last pick.

Personally, Allan Ray & Darius Washington Jr are guys I would bring in. I'd probably let go of Pargo and trade Duhon if we got those guys. Darius is a Duhon with shooting ability. Ray was very underrated last year because of Lowry and Randy Foye.

Those are some pretty good options, though I like Washington a lot more than Ray. Darius has lottery talent and can play the point.

Allan Ray would be interesting to bring in.

With our roster as it stands now, no guard is going to want to come to Chicago's training camp unless no one else calls, and trust me these guys are goping to get phonecalls.
