    • Analysis:

    Well, well, well, what do we have here? What we have is an underachieving team, one many picked to win the East (Too giddy? Too stupid? You decide.) who lucked out in the Lottery with the No. 1 overall pick. The debate will rage until June 26: Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley. Until then, the speculation as to whom the Bulls will chose or whether they will trade the pick will fly. That, and they need a coach. Looks like John Paxson has his work cut out for him.

    From The Media:

    'When the Bulls won this year's draft lottery, general manager John Paxson and his staff had their predraft work distilled to two players: Memphis point guard Derrick Rose and Kansas State power forward Michael Beasley. That doesn't mean the decision will be an easy one."
    -- K.C. Johnson, Chicago Tribune
