Yeah, I think that after a decade or so of drafting at the bottom of the first round the Bulls brass have become clueless about the process.

I think you’re joking, but the Bulls’ draft spot has been fantastic almost every year of the past decade:

2008: 1  
2007: 9  
2006: 4  
2005: No picks  
2004: 3  
2003: 7  
2002: 2  
2001: 4  
2000: 4  
1999: 1  
1998: 28

I was refering to this span:

1998: 28 Corey Benjamin   
1997: 28 Keith Booth   
1996: 29 Travis Knight  
1995: 20 Jason Caffey   
1994: 21 Dickey Simpkins   
1993: 25 Corie Blount   
1992: 27 Byron Houston   
1991: 26 Mark Randall   
1989: 6 Stacey King   
1989: 18 B.J. Armstrong

Which lead to us botching the bulk of the decade you quoted’s picks out of inexperience with high picks.
