The Bulls went looking for a little depth at point guard in the first round, and they got exactly that with 6’2″ guard Norris Cole out of Cleveland State.  Though the Bulls obviously have their guy at point guard in league MVP Derrick Rose, Cole could be a very nice fit for the team and a solid pick at number 28.  Cole is touted as a good shooter with strong range but also a talented passer with good court IQ.  The Bulls could very well use Cole to run a second unit, and it looks like he has the maturity and basketball IQ to do exactly that.

Also getting snagged by the Bulls – with the 30th pick – was Jimmy Butler out of Marquette.  As a small forward, Butler will also look to be in a back up position, though he could also be counted on to pick up the scoring load with the second unit.  Butler is considered a good scorer but an exceptional defender, which is exactly the type of player that the defensive minded Chicago Bulls are looking for.  Though he’s also a good rebounder, Butler was criticized for not having great athleticism, but he still be a very solid fit for the Bulls in a peripheral role on an already deep team.
