Here is some interesting reading. I know its Chad Ford. But, its still positive reading.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nbadraft/story?id=1399492

Chicago Bulls
Round 1: Jay Williams, 6-2, PG, Duke (No. 2)
Round 2: Roger Mason Jr., 6-5, SG, Virginia (No. 31)
Round 2: Lonny Baxter, 6-8, PF, Maryland (No. 44)
Jay Williams is the best player in the draft right now. Tough to knock Chicago there. Williams will quickly become the leader of this young team. Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry will benefit from his ability to run the break and penetrate and dish. With his poise and court savvy, I'd expect him to add 10 wins to the Bulls next season. Mason is a steal in the second round, but where does he fit behind Williams, Jalen Rose and Jamal Crawford? That could be evidence that Crawford is soon to be traded. Lonny Baxter will provide backup beef for Chandler and Curry.
<b>Grade: A</b>

If Chad Ford gave us an A, we probably deserved an A++.

Chris Monter says Jay Williams is his pick for rookie of the year

Basketball News gave us an A

The ESPN poll shows 48% of 26,000 plus votes so far say we had the best draft.
