I鈥檓 very excited to see how the Bull鈥檚 rookies do this <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Gold-Purse>Michael Kors Gold Purse</a> year. McDermott and Mirotic both have opportunities to be key contributors this year out of the gate. I started thinking about past rookie tandems and immediately though of Pippen Grant. Could M M have better rookie seasons than them? "Hell No" immediately came to mind but I decided to check the facts.

Interesting, Pippen Grant are arguably the 4th or 5th best rookie tandem in Bull鈥檚 history statistically. Apparently, Jordan took all available stats in 1987/88 for himself. Speaking of Jordan, he was a man among boys even as a rookie.
How could we ever trade Brand after that rookie year?
I am going to be disappointed if M M <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Rain-Boots>Michael Kors Rain Boots</a> don鈥檛 do better than Pippen/Grant. I think McDermott/Mirotic are both capable of delivering a rookie season similar to some combination of Gordon/Kukoc/Deng.
