Augustine>Taj. I'm comfortable making that statement at this point.

Taj hustles a lot, but he doesn't appear to have a lot of skill.

James Johnson seems to have a lot of skill, but he's really slow.

Gibson was just a stupid selection.

Johnson is starting to turn it on!

Taj Gibson/James Johnson just had the sickest block on Anthony Randolph. They both blocked him at the same time. It was awesome.

James Johnson looking like a SF out there. He's a prototypical SF. His passing and scoring inside is great.

If he can defend the power forward spot we should play him there. We obviously already have Deng and Salmons at small forward. But having Johnson at the 4, we will be able to get a big guy out of the paint.

Johnson's shooting stroke just looks so nice, and his dribbling is second to none at that size. He's a better dribbler than Lebron, better than Beasley. And his passing looks great.

The Bulls look to finally have a point forward again.

Yeah, he's a Point Forward but not the dribbler Lebron James is. His drive is not near Lebron James. I'm not a fan of playing the 6'8'' SF at PF, that's Nocioni all over again. When you draft a guy, you are suppose to have all intentions to get his moneys' worth. You don't play a guy out of position because he won't produce consistently. He stated his position is on the wings because he feels more comfortable there. This is the same guy whom patterns his game after Paul Pierce and Carmelo Anthony.

PG: Rose Hinrich
SG: Salmons Johnson
SF: Deng Johnson
PF: Thomas Gibson
C: Noah Miller

I only saw the first half, but it should be clear that JJ have a advanced skill set. For all the people who thought Tyrus had ball handling skills, no JJ has ball handling skills. A guy the can handle can get they need to go on the basketball court, and JJ have that brand of skills.

I think JJ is the exact opposite of Deng. Deng has the body of a small forward, and the game of a finesse power forward. On the other hand, JJ have the skills of a small forward in the body of a power forward. I have serious doubts whether he'll be able to guard 3s or 4s in the league. The guy looked a step slow on defense against a player that plays in straight lines in Ingles. I think I'll get a better feel for his perimeter game tomorrow against Moute.
