Sam Smith analyzes the Bulls’ possible uses for the No. 2 pick in Wednesday’s draft, plus what online voters would like to see happen.
LaMarcus Aldridge
Texas (6,356 responses)
ONLINE PICK: 29.7%
Sam says: “I thought this would be the Bulls’ pick if available, and he could be. The big question is whether you can throw the ball to him in the post, which is the Bulls’ biggest weakness.”
Tyrus Thomas
LSU (5,824 responses)
ONLINE PICK: 26.3%
Sam says: “While he isn’t exactly sophisticated as a freshman from LSU, he also seems to fit the Bulls’ thinking of a manic worker and a quick learner who can change the game on defense.”
Brandon Roy
Washington (3,828 responses)
ONLINE PICK: 17.9%
Sam says: “This is the safe guy . . . He fits right in with [Kirk] Hinrich and [Ben] Gordon, so you can probably forget about your backcourt for the next decade. But what do you do about your size and front line?”
Adam Morrison
Gonzaga (2,021 responses)
ONLINE PICK: 9.4%
Sam says: “One rumor making the rounds has the Bulls drafting Morrison and trading [Luol] Deng . . . and Deng might bring that shooting guard or big guy the Bulls need.”
None of the above; trade it

ONLINE PICK: 16.7%
Sam says: “There has been talk the Bulls could be putting together a blockbuster predraft deal which would include their No. 2 pick. For now, the Bulls deny that.”
