I'm ok with the Bulls getting either Tyrus Thomas or LaMarcus Aldrdige
I still don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with Tyrus Thomas now. I know he had a great tourney, but where was he before this? I'd rather see him play another year in college and see if he's for real before I'd pick him so early. I know they say that Aldridge is a little soft, but I'm not bought on Thomas at all, so if I'm the Bulls, I'd take Aldridge in a heart-beat... a bird's heart-beat for that matter...
Tyrus is kinda in the same situation than MArvin Williams was last year. Williams, didn't have special season or tourney (except for a huge game vs. Duke), but he was a freshman with huggggge amounts of potential. i think scouts saw what thomas did in the tourney this year and then saw his season tape and said "wow this guys doing all this as a freshman, he's got great potential"
i think Tyrus would never have come out this early even if he had a above average tourney, but since he was just so damn good in march, i think him and his agent felt that your at your collegiate peak, now go get the lottery pick and big money.
