NBA Summer League: Bulls Announce Roster

It's that time of year again. NBA hopefuls unite in Vegas for one big chance to impress their GM's - or someone else's GM - enough to sneak onto a regular season roster.

The Bulls' lineup, not suprisingly, includes draft picks James Johnson and Taj Gibson, as well as Bulls vets Anthony Roberson, DeMarcus Nelson, and Linton Johnson.

However, there are a couple of exciting and random names on there for me. First off, Florida's Taurean Green, who was the starting PG during both championship runs and played with both Joakim Noah and Roberson, made the roster. He is joined by James Augustine from Illinois, Luke Zeller from Notre Dame, Julius Hodge from NC State, and a couple of former UCLA standouts in Josh Shipp and Lorenzo Mata-Real. Honestly, I see Green as the best prospect for the roster, aside from maybe Hodge. The Bulls are looking dangerously thin at guard, and Green can handle and shoot the ball extremely well. I always liked him at Florida.

Anyway, here's hoping that NBAtv and Comcast work out their issues in time for me to see some games.
