I suspected that would happen. Last year he picked Griffin, but since he was in the All-Star game, the coach didnt play him as much. And thats gonna probably be the same situation with Kyrie. Thats probablywhy Chuck didnt pick him either for the first pick.

Why Chuck didnt pick Walker and picked Brandon Knight is beyond me though.

Chuck said he didn't pick Kyrie because he didn't think Shaq was dumb enough to draft two point guards in a row.

Why Bulls, why? Why do you have to lay an egg against the Nuggets. I am tired of hearing about how much better the Nuggets are than the Bulls.

I mean they're alright, but with a ceiling of being third best in the west I wouldn't let them get to you. we got an MVP coming back. Only looking up.

When is Rose expected back? Any time frame yet?

According to ESPN Chicago, it seems likely that he'll return after the All-Star break, but they'll probably ease him into the rotation. I'd expect them to bring him off the bench for awhile until he gets his legs and confidence back.

Say KG plays two more years with comparable stats to what he has now and Boston doesn't win another title. Would he go into the HOF as a Celtic or T'Wolf?

I'm more curious about Danny Granger's return.

They'll likely ease him back before the all star break, probably 20-25 minutes a night, and give him starter minutes again after. Barring a setback, of course. Will be interesting to see how he fits in with this thriving Pacers lineup.

[incognitojones]

I know Rose will come back and fit right in while really getting the team playing great again. Not worried about that.

But Granger is a huge wildcard. Will he play as well as he has? Will Paul George regress? Will he work in seamlessly and it'll be like having two George's out there with no Lance's? Really have no idea.

[DylanPPPP]

I really hope it's the last of those options. It amazes me every time I hear that Paul George is about 6'10". The guy could be the next LeBron if he continues to improve like he has this year.

[skibby15]

i think we'll be okay. hopefully our defense doesn't take a hit with granger. lance will be a good addition to our second team and hopefully get us some scoring with them

A Celtic probably.

I think he would go in for the T'Wolves. I forget for the Basketball HOF, do the players have a choice in the matter or is it decided otherwise? Either way, his best individual years were with the T'Wolves.
