Point taken Ralph and depending upon who we draft I could see it. The team would look like this not counting the draft picks.

Rose,Hinrich
Salmons
Deng
Tyrus, Bass
Noah, Miller


Does this mean you go perimeter with both picks? Gerald Henderson and Chase Budinger?

I don't think you can just add up the guys at each position. In this scenario, if Deng comes back to play well, your best 4 players are in the backcourt. Yeah, you probably need a 5th guy to pick up some of the minutes, but all your talent is back there.

So I don't think you draft 2 prospects to go in the backcourt. I do think you draft the 2 best guys you can get though. The Bulls aren't going to have a lot of minutes to hand out to anyone regardless of what happens though.

I think it is more lke this

Rose/Kirk
Salmons/Kirk
Deng/Salmons
Tyus/Noah
Miller/Noah

thats a nice 7 man rotation for the playoffs but for the regular season I think we need more players and an extended rotation. We "lose" gray and hunter this offseason as well so we will need to build depth behind our rotation as well.

Unfortunately I doubt we do anything this off season. Our big acquisition will be Deng. Our improvement as a team will have to come from the growth of Rose, TT, and Noah, the continued good play of salmons and a return to form by Deng. Basically we are going to replace Gordon with Deng. Im not sure if that makes us better or not.
