A few months ago, I wrote a post about the One and Done rule. At first, the rule was meant to be a year in college. Players have found a way to get around enrollment, but still play the game they know is their career in attempts to make an NBA roster. The rule stats, to enter the NBA a [...]

I have been on the free agent pick up band wagon of Dwayne Wade or Chris Bosh the entire season.

In the 2009 draft the Bulls had two picks. They grabbed Wake Forrest’s James Johnson with the 16th pick and then selected USC’s Taj Gibson with the 27 overall pick.
