Bulls Draft Joakim Noah Bozo when I see one.
I had a beautifully crafted piece of prose describing my predictions on the Bulls' draft this year but I threw it out because I can summarize its point in one sentence:
Don't draft that clown. I'm not the only one with that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Obviously, I didn't get my wish. MJ thinks the Joakim Noah pick was a good one. He name drops Tyson Chandler, Chris Mihm, and the movie Dumb and Dumber in his post. You tell me, even out of context, those aren't the types of things you expect to read in an article about how GREAT the Bulls did in the draft. Far from it. I could sit here all day and complain about how this guy is paper-thin, has a weak shot, and looked completely gassed a few times during the tournament this past March after firing his fist in the air 3 consecutive times. That's great. Just what we need. I'm going to go off and see how many people are drawing comparisons to the last "colorful" player the Bulls had on the roster: Dennis Rodman. Wait, here is one. (read the comments from stresdog).
Look at the sportingnews.com's assessment (from the link above)
Joakim Noah will be successful in this league because of all of his passion and enthusiasm and the way he plays with a lot of energy.
Right. Passion and Enthusiasm. Sounds like he's at least a perfect for Bozo Buckets.
