What someone brought up the Mihm-Magloire clash from last year which labelled Chris Mihm as soft, Tyson Chandler was defensive. "People think the same about me as Mihm, that I'm soft. But I feel I'm nowhere near as soft, so when I go to these workouts, I try to . . . play more aggressively." That was not Chandler's only problem. With his slender build he is more suited to play small forward in the NBA, which means he must prove he can shoot rather than bang down low. "I missed some shots I normally make," said Chandler, 18. "But that happens. Some days, the shots aren't falling for you, so you have to do it other ways."
Eddie Griffin's shot, on the other hand, was on target during his one-on-one games against the other prospects, according to a source. Not only that, Griffin sounded thrilled to be in the Berto Center. "It's a great feeling to sit here in Bulls shorts," Griffin said. "I was thinking that Michael Jordan wore these shorts." But with Jordan now with the Wizards, possibly as a player in 2002, Griffin covered all bases. "I'd love to play with Jordan," said Griffin, a freshman from Seton Hall. "But we'll have to wait until the 27th to see how things go."

With the draft less than one month away, most draft experts are still saying that there is no sure pick amongst the crop. That means that there is a risk for even the first overall pick, and an even bigger risk for the Bulls' #4. Writes the Chicago Tribune's Chris King, "Since 1980, the fourth spot has not been kind. The No. 4 selection has produced only three All-Stars. However, out of the 21 No. 1 overall selections, 16 players were All-Stars at least once in their careers. But only eight of 21 No. 2 overall picks made the All-Star team."

Wally Szczerbiak is a big fan of the Bulls, writes Roman Modrowski, and he was hoping to be a Bull before the 99' NBA Draft. He likes Jerry Krause, after talking to him at length before being drafted by the Timberwolves. With Krause working the lines, could it be that last season's rumored trade which featured Szczerbiak, William Avery, Marcus Fizer and Ron Artest is alight once again?
In other Bulls news, Brad Miller's agent Mark Bartelstein announced that they have extended the deadline for the Bulls to pick up Miller's option for the remaining two years on his deal.
