I hope the Bulls get him. I can totally see him be a Rip Hamilton type of player - solid 15 footer, crafty scorer, and good defender.

Except Rip has 6" on him and McNeal is an overrated defender.

Totally agree, was ridiculed a couple years ago when I said that...just because you get steals doesn't mean your a great defender. He gambles way to often and gives his man lots of open looks. That said I think he will be a good defender in the NBA because that will be his focus.
As for rip hamilton, come on now.
Kid looks ecstatic!
