As we watch the NBA draft coverage here in The Sun newsroom, I get a sense of hope coming from the Bulls' camp after they selected Derrick Rose with the No. 1 overall pick.
It reminds me of the 1984 draft when Michael Jordan was selected third overall.. Jordan had plenty of potential. We just didn't know he'd shatter the potential meter when he got on the court..
Debate rages in Portland to this day that the Trail Blazers shouldn't have taken Sam Bowie with the second pick and grabbed Jordan. Duh.
There was talk on sports radio this week from fans wanting the Bulls to take Michael Beasley of Kansas State who ended up going to Miami with the second pick. Years down the road, Bulls fans might have wished that happened. Or maybe Rose's jersey will hang retired one day from the United Center rafters. Who knows?
But for now, the Bulls are a team whose future is brighter than it was a few hours ago. How do you feel about it?
