Despite the odds being heavily against it, the Chicago Bulls came away with the number 1 pick on May 20th's NBA Draft Lottery. The Bulls only had a 1.7% chance of grabbing the coveted top pick. To give you an idea of much of a surprise this was, Miami had a 25% chance.
Now the question arises... Who will the "lucky" Bulls take with the top pick? We couldn't tell ya however it'd be a safe bet that the player's name will end in Rose, Love, Beasley or Mayo.
Stay tuned to find out as the 2008 Draft will take place Thursday, June 26th at Madison Square Garden!
