point is to say that this scrub who couldnt make the bulls rotation (not starting line-up, but rotation) is better than whatever that 1st round pick would have been is WRONG !

I wasn't a big fan of James coming out of college and hated hearing the rumours of Toronto drafting him, but for a late first round pick, I think it's not a bad deal. Personally, I think they could have done better, even if they were to have held onto the pick and try and trade up later.
Reasons I wasn't a big fan, from the link jbml posted....
- Settles for bad shots
- Stuck between 3 and 4
- Defensive awareness
- Defensive fundamentals
- Lateral quickness
- Focus
- Fundamentals
- Lacks discipline

Bingo. These are well documented about this guy. You look at any scouting report on Johnson and you see similar description. This is why I think BC needs to go. He makes the same mistakes over and over. We have players like Johnson in this team. This team needs strong defender, someone exactly opposite of Johnson and we have fans who are happy we got this guy.

He's shooting under 50% from the line, 41% from the field, is foul prone, and doesn't have a great b-ball IQ.TRUE LOVE - Sometimes you know it the instant you see it across the bar.

Such a perfect set of circumstances have to exist for a team to find a gem low. People always like to bring up examples like those you mentioned, but for every 1 or 2 drafted late that do blossom, literally 30 to 40 times as many don't even play 5 years.Read my blog, The Picket Fence.
