2011 NBA Mock Draft: Who Will the Chicago Bulls Select in the 2011 NBA Draft?

Yes the Bulls just drafted a shooting guard two picks ago, but that position really needs help on the team. With Marshon Brooks they get a big time scorer, and here with Travis Leslie the Bulls get a high flying athletic defender that continues to improve.

Leslie's draft status is in question because of a recent beef with Tony Allen. Leslie told reporter he was better than Allen, to which the Grizzlies guard said "who are you?". Leslie tried to play it off as if he said that he could be better than Allen if he continued to work hard.

There's no denying that Leslie is a hard worker, but he needs to learn to keep his mouth shut, and his fingers quiet.

Leslie wasn't allowed to use Twitter under Mark Fox, but now that he is on his own he is tweeting like crazy again, which may hurt him for this draft. You better believe scouts are following his tweets to see what kind of person he is.

However, despite the negatives Leslie has cornered himself into, he is still a damn good basketball player. His jumper needs work, but it has steadily improved over the last couple of years.

Leslie is a dunk machine and often referred to as a human highlight reel. He can jump out of the gym, as well as be a lock down defender.

The shooting guard position is a big time need for the Bulls, and in this draft they will get two solid role players this later in the first round. Leslie will provide a nice change of pace while in the game because he is unlike any other player on the Bulls roster.
