Welp, Wiggins will be our shining hope for most of the upcoming season, so we might as well get used to following him, and all of the other top prospects from next year's draft.

Even if we only have a 5% chance of actually getting him.

 That's a great case for an NBA fixed lottery 1% and he just so happens to stay home in CHI town. That's the Sh#t I don't like.

The decision between Beasley and Rose was a lot closer then than it was now. They were certainly 1A and 1B for most people leading up to the 2008 Draft.

The differences were largely mental, to the point where ESPN was motivated to write articles like this one:

Where, after paragraphs of praising Rose's mental toughness and drive to win, they still felt the need to add the caveat:

Quote
The Bulls have a tough choice to make between Rose and Beasley. But the one thing they won't have to worry about if they choose Rose is his commitment to the game.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.
