What someone brought up the Mihm-Magloire clash from last year which labelled Chris Mihm as soft, Tyson Chandler was defensive.  "People think the same about me as Mihm, that I'm soft. But I feel I'm nowhere near as soft, so when I go to these workouts, I try to . . . play more aggressively."  That was not Chandler's only problem. With his slender build he is more suited to play small forward in the NBA, which means he must prove he can shoot rather than bang down low.  "I missed some shots I normally make," said Chandler, 18. "But that happens. Some days, the shots aren't falling for you, so you have to do it other ways."

Eddie Griffin's shot, on the other hand, was on target during his one-on-one games against the other prospects, according to a source.  Not only that, Griffin sounded thrilled to be in the Berto Center.  "It's a great feeling to sit here in Bulls shorts," Griffin said. "I was thinking that Michael Jordan wore these shorts."  But with Jordan now with the Wizards, possibly as a player in 2002, Griffin covered all bases.  "I'd love to play with Jordan," said Griffin, a freshman from Seton Hall. "But we'll have to wait until the 27th to see how things go."
