[QUOTE="HeartofaChampion, post: 1219454, member: 3074"] Valentine is a heady player who should carve out a nice career as a complimentary player, but he graded out as one of the slowest-footed draft prospects on the perimeter this spring and is not nearly quick enough to be a PG in the NBA, even as a backup. He'll play wing as he did in college. The Bulls won't make the playoffs unless they upgrade the PG position. Calderon was one of the worst starting PGs in the league last year. Grant's skill set looks like that of a potentially solid backup PG. JB is a classic 2/3. If they want to get back to the postseason, they'll have to make a trade for or sign a free-agent starting PG. If Conley checks out medically, he'd be a good candidate. Hoiberg's up-tempo, 3-point-friendly system requires a quick PG who can push the ball in transition, create off the dribble and draw defenders and either finish or find shooters. No one on the current roster fits that bill. [/QUOTE]
