"I feel I can average 20 points a game"
that player

"When you look at his athletic ability and jump shot, it's not hard to imagine him averaging 24, 25 points a game one day."
Fred Hoiberg on that player





These quotes stand out clearly in my mind from the beginning of the season and they were all about Eddie Robinson. Assuming they were legit, why would the Bulls back off of his talent instead of helping him through his injury and then getting him back on track?

Theres no doubt he'll be starting???

Where?!?!?!?!?


Rose has a starting spot locked up. Ditto Curry and Chandler. We assume J-Will will. So he's the three and Rose the two instead of Rose being the three and Jamal the two?

I don't see it. I think he's back the bench like in Charlotte...

Here's how I think they can distribute the minutes:

C: Curry 30 mpg/Chandler 10 mpg/Bagaric 8 mpg
PF: Chandler 22 mpg/Fizer 26 mpg
SF: Rose 23 mpg/Robinson 25 mpg
SG: Crawford 14 mpg/Hassell 24 mpg/Rose 10 mpg
PG: Williams 27 mpg/Crawford 11 mpg/Guyton 10 mpg

(Sorry, Fred.)

Norm Johnson, not Guyton.

You just quoted a ten man rotation .

:no: :no: :no: :no: :no:

We're not in development/building mode anymore. We're trying to win. Bagaric won't see much time, and either E-Rob or Hassell won't see much time. I'll bet it will be Hassell...which makes no sense for the talent he has. There HAS to be a trade this off-season...

What exactly are we in then ? I think we're still in development simply because Jerry's still feeling out the pieces he acquired, not because all of a sudden we want to win.

The emphasis is on winning NOW. Krause was talking playoffs with last seasons team, whats he going to go after with Rose and more vets this coming season?

Again, he wants to get those kids some playoff lovin' early in their career to help their development, but also to cement the idea that it's a team that can do some damage if it stays togather.

You won't see mistake prone players get a lot of playing time to work the kinks out, and Krause won't be going after high draft picks again. The players that Krause has want to win, and they won't tolerate an environment that doesn't allow them to do that.
