The Deuce: Fine, fair enough. I'll hope you agree that AKME sucked more than GARPAX, but they

both weren't good enough.

I'll never get over how bad the Vooch trade ended up, though. Two first round picks and a decent young center for a one-way, older center. The Bulls were routinely in the bottom 3 for rim defense during the Vooch years and they never did anything to address it. They were absolute cunts about it too. Good riddance.

and Wendell Carter was the #7 overall pick. He should be more than just a "solid NBA center and a good defensive player." and how much of that can be attributed to development he's received in the 6 years he's been in Orlando?

as for the other guys...being "better than their successors" doesn't make someone a good pick. they provided little to nothing of value to the Bulls. James Johnson averaged 7.4 ppg and 3.5 rpg for his career, both of which were better than the 1+ year he spent in Chicago. That's terrible. Tony Snell averaged 6.1 ppg/2.3 rpg. Bobby Portis was the best of the three, averaging 12.1 ppg/7.1 rpg. But that was mostly after they dealt him to Washington. He had a good 3rd year with them but that's it. Players being putting up decent numbers for other teams doesn't mean you drafted well in selecting them.
