Mirotic is just 20 years old, and is under contract for another 4 years with his European team, Real Madrid.
The #28 pick that the Bulls traded to Minnesota was Norris Cole, a 6'2" point guard from Cleveland State. The Bulls still have the #30 pick in round 1.

In one other piece of breaking NBA news, Ron Artest has filed legal papers to have his name legally changed to Metta World Peace.

I'm pretty sure P'Allen was somewhere in that mega-trade.
As a matter of fact, if you've ever played basketball, you were somewhere in that scramble.

HOW THE F does Harrelson get drafted.....he sucks.

He's big????? Sorry FWO that's the only reason that I can think of.

[Braves4Life]

If you watched Harrellson in the NCAA Tourney you can understand why he was picked. The fact that he is white only helps his cause.

Warren about to go to his hometown Pacers....

I look at all of the players still available and can see no way Warren gets picked...... Sorry.

no dice Richmond

There can be no way Jeremy Richmond gets drafted.

[jeffsu]

Warren and Richmond don't surprise me.

Thought McCamey would go though.

Here's an article on Mirotic from Chicago Bulls Confidential. Sounds like he was maybe a good guy to take a risk on. http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chic...-ass.html#more

Harrelson is probably the one player whose height was most greatly exaggerated --

I have heard him EVEN referred to as a 7-footer, and frequently as 6-11 or 6-10..

BUT when he was actually measured at the NBA draft combine he was 6' 8.5"
