NEW YORK (AFP) — By winning the the National Basketball Association Draft lottery Tuesday, the Chicago Bulls gave themselves the chance to pick a hometown star with the top pick in next month's NBA Draft.
The Bulls, without a coach since sacking Jim Boylan hours after their 33-49 season ended, had only a 1.7 percent chance of landing the top pick in the June 26 draft but defied the odds to capture the top prize on offer.
Coincidentally, one of the two top-rated prospects available with the number one selection, point guard Derrick Rose, is from Chicago.
Rose averaged 14.9 points a game this past season as a freshman in leading the University of Memphis to the US college finals and a record 38 victories.
