Tom Tolbert (KNBR) highlighted one player, just one, that intrigued him. Some drafts have this player going to the Bulls.
20. Chicago Bulls - Jamaal Franklin, SG, San Diego State (6’5, 17.0 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 3.3 apg)
Jamaal superficially reminds me, and others, of Kawhi Leonard, a mid round pick that worked. It simply appears like the Bulls should copy the Spurs and get the next wing at SDSU who needs an improved shot. He'll improve his shooting and be a stud like Kawhi. No. I doubted it. I also dismissed Jamaal because Jimmy Butler can do about the same thing and is taller.
I mention Jamaal because Tolbert is no fool. He thought, along with many of the other comments written about Jamaal's talents, that grabbing 9 rebounds per game was very unusual for a wing player and indicated that he isn't shying away from "mixing it up" and getting physical.
Good point.
I am totally confused except I assert that at #20, the Bulls selection will be under 6'8.
