NBA Draft: Class of 2008
Writing by bettingfool on Monday, 9 of June , 2008 at 11:46 am
The Chicago Bulls had a very disappointing 2007-08 campaign at 33-49 (36-46 ATS), blowing the team up at the trade deadline when it became clear the Ben Wallace Experiment was failing. How much better will they be now that they have the No. 1 pick?
Taking point guard Derrick Rose might not change anything in the short term. The Bulls already have incumbent Kirk Hinrich at that position, even if he is coming off a sub-par season. Michael Beasley is a better candidate to have an immediate impact, but the 6-foot-10 (allegedly) forward might only replicate what Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah already do. These are picks for the future.
Whoever lands at No. 2 will be an instant upgrade for the Miami Heat. But coach Pat Riley reportedly isn’t impressed with Beasley, so point guard O.J. Mayo remains a possibility with the second pick. All three were one-and-done college freshmen, and there’s more where they came from in the 2008 Draft.
Bet on the NBA playoffs!
