Bulls general manager John Paxson likes the idea of drafting Connecticutt forward Emeka Okafor or Duke swingman Luol Deng with his top-6 in this year's NBA Draft.

"There's no question [Okafor is] going to make a difference in this league on the defensive end," Paxson said. "He fits that role of defender, rebounder and hard worker. He still has a ways to go offensively. But if you look at where he has come from, there's no reason to think he's not going to get better. He has all the qualities of being a legitimate NBA front-line player for a long time. And I think that can happen rather quickly."

However, he seems higher on Okafor like most all gms than Deng.

"He will have to expand his game because he's not in the athletic category that some other guys are," Paxson said. "But he's a basketball player. And he's just getting better. He has great length (7-foot wingspan). And he has a work ethic that will make the most of his ability."

The Draft Lottery is May 26 and the NBA Draft is June 24.
