@Arkandel said in The basketball thread:

I have very high hopes for this squad because of him. Also don't forget their most likely high draft pick this year, which can round up the squad considerably.

Maybe. The Bulls under Thibodeau did not draft particularly well, save for Jimmy Butler. You can point out that he wasn't directly responsible for those choices, but I'm pretty sure every head coach has some input as to who a team should pick. Even if Thibodeau didn't have that input, that just means he has not past experience when it comes to drafting.

Again: color me skeptical. And I'm not talking out of hurt because of what's happening with the Blue Jackets of the NHL.
