KINGSTON, R.I. -- Will Daniels is set to play with the Chicago Bulls in the 2008 Orlando Pro Summer League at the RDV Sportsplex from July 7-11.

"The Bulls are a well-known organization and I'm excited for this opportunity," Daniels said. "I'm looking forward to getting on the floor, competing, and playing the best basketball I can."

An hour and a half into the 2008 NBA Draft, and ten guys have been picked. Nothing too extraordinary so far, though Charlotte's selection of DJ Augustin is a head-scrather.. replacing Ray Felton with another smallish point guard makes little sense.  The Sonics/Clippers trade fell apart, and the Sonics took Russell Westbrook with the fourth pick. I've been down on him for weeks, a product of a good NCAA Tournament run in my opinion..

How they got here and what they need

The 2008 NBA Draft Lottery was held Tuesday night, May 20th.  The Bulls were the big winner, moving up to the 1st despite owning less than 2% of the ping pong balls. Seattle was the biggest loser as they fall down to the 5th spot.. a frontcourt of Kevin Durant and Michael Beasley will no longer be possible.
