Yea but that doesn't mean anything.
Christian Laettner (6"11), and Tyler Hansbrough (6"9) were amazing PF in college to never do shit.
I think Davis will end up better than those two, but to say an future perennial all-star like Bosh I'm not so sure about that.

It was in response to Blackface's post...
Trax was implying that Davis was a worse prospect than Bosh because of their college ball resumes, respectively. That's dumb because Davis was better than Bosh. And Davis obviously has better jumpoutofthegym ability than Bosh.

Man I wish the Magic got Tony Mitchell. That'd be swell.
He doesn't have to take over pg duties. Rose is barely above average as a pg and the backups are not that far removed in that regard. During this stretch with Rose out the Bulls have made it very clear that they are great passing amongst themselves, they don't need Rose because of his PG skills.

Wait, Rose is a PG?

Who the hell is Arnett Moultrie? And why is he a top 10 pick?

Then how exactly would a ball dominate SF who fanccies himself Magic Johnson be effective?
Wade would be a better fit, and so would Rose. That Bulls roster isn't built to suit bron's game.

He's not. NBADraft.net "discovered" him and now they're hyping him up like they hyped up Whiteside. He's going to go late first-round if he doesn't bomb out of interviews (which is pretty possible)
Because he can add to what they already do. Lebron prefers to not have to provide bit of offense for a team, and he wouldnt have to with the Bulls. Also wade and rose are basically the same players, only wade is better so yea.

casual Laker fans in my office did the same thing in their lean years (all they know is Kobe, Kobe, Kobe). Not a big deal, unless you feel threatened
lttp, but I watched the game at a buds house last night. It was a great game. MWP steal on CP3 at the end was the winning play to me. I knew they would lose after that.
Clips D is garbage. And nobody on that team can (or wants) to check Bynum. Blake and Jordan need to improve their defense hard over the OS. Or VDN needs to get in their ass more, idk. And Blake needs to learn how to shoot a 15 footer.
Good close game though, Lakers have too much inside. Would love for them to meet in the playoffs somehow.
Man, Kobe has such a douche personality LOL. I like how he doesn't really care how people think about him now....lol

8 assists per game(7th in the league, more than Tony Parker), I would think so.

Someone hyped up Whiteside? LMAO!

Bron would be in the same role as he was in while with Cleveland. No one in CHI could give him what Wade and Bosh do, a top tier iso playmaker who can handle the ball well and a excellent mid range jumpshooter. And he still couldn't get it done.
Bron either handles the ball and makes a poor pass or bad decision every so often or he sits idle and watches someon else go to work. It is proving rather difficult to build a chip caliber team around such an amazingly gifted athlete.
That doesn't change the fact that the MIA Heat aren't a well constructed team or that the theoritical Bulls team wouldn't be significantly better the CLE teams. He's been handling the ball fine as of late also.

You are NBA-Gaf's Jay Bilas. I was begining to think Moultrie was a made up guy or something.
McGee's problem is that he's a dumbass. Davis seems to be built from the DRose line of emotionless robots.
Bosh averaged almost 24 when Raptors were one of the top seeds in the Eastern Conference.
The argument that he did it on a "bad" team is retarded. Bosh did it while being the MOST EFFICIENT PF in the NBA. He wasn't chucking to get his numbers on a bad team.
You can also see this with Miami. When Bosh gets first option touches, he is dropping 25+. However normally he is only getting third option touches (sometimes less thanks to Hog Wade), so is averaging around 18 a game. Hell, he out played the MVP of the league last year in the Chicago playoff series.
Chris is not the best PF ever or even close. However acting like what he has done offensively is nothing, is wrong.
If Davis can do that, and have great defense, and rebound well, then he will be a game changer.
However right now. He is to weak to play in the NBA offensively and contribute in a meaningful way. Hell, even to play defense against big men he has to put on muscle. He isn't Kevin Durant. He has a big mans skill set with a little mans strength.
The guy above bodied him all day long in the championship game.
They won 47 games. Calm yo self.
"Handling the ball fine as of late" does not equate to 82 games + playoffs of success. It's a bullshit extrapolation.

Theoretical Bulls could be a better than The old Cavs but not the current heat.
There's a distinct difference between dumping a pass off to Wade orafter Bosh after not making a playing with 8 seconds left and doing the same to Taj Gibson or Carlos Boozer.

Fab Melo is 7ft tall so any type of real analysis goes out the window for some reason.
It is the reason Thabeet was the 2nd pick despite Blair taking his food every time they met.
That Pittsburg Powerbomb should've kept him from being draft eligible.
For 82 games he has had the best record twice with 60+ wins and one of the most effecient offenses ever. He's fine at handling the ball.
The argument was never current heat vs the bulls team.

I'm convinced.

Like I said earlier, Rose is a better fit on the current Bulls team because Bron would turn the bulls into neocavs.
We blew them out once already so I doubt it happens again.
In fear of going in yet another circle on this I will agree to disagree.
psst the bulls already are
coach whos all d no o
a star who wilted like a motherfucker in the playoffs when carrying the team by himself got impossible
bunch of stiffs for teammates who are too afraid to shoot
and even the stench of carlos boozer tying it all together
bulls fans are in for a whole lot of Regular Season Championships

I wouldn't call the last 3 weeks of Bulls play impressive. If so, you have a low standard. Then again, Wolves.
They are 42-13 without the reigning MVP for about a third of those games. What team meets your so-called standards.

Like anyone else could get that much more out of that team other than maybe Phil and Pop.

Phil Jackson sucks without two All-NBA players on his team.
