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.
