Some interesting quotes.
Some interesting quotes.
Is this an indication of JC's future with the Bulls?"We're going to have a need for several key positions this summer - shooting guard and small forward. We just have to do our work."
rlucas celebrate! We are scouting international players. Too bad it's probably the year where most of the international prospects won't be too appealling to the Bulls, as many are projects or players with much development, something we have enough of. However, it's good to see Paxson making a real effort on the international scene. Too part it has taken the Bulls years and a new GM to realise others play basketball and are good at it.Paxson plans to put an emphasis on international scouting. Many of the best NBA teams got where they are by making smart choices with foreign players. The obvious examples include San Antonio (Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker), Sacramento (Peja Stojakovic) and Dallas (Dirk Nowitzki).
"That's a priority for us," Paxson said. "That's Ivica's job - to point me in the right direction. The reason it's so appealing and important right now is the most skilled guys are coming from there. Guys who can pass, shoot and handle it."
Paxson will make his first trip to Europe after the Feb. 19 trade deadline. He figures to return in the spring when college season is over but the Europeans are still playing.
