But by Tuesday, that talk had quieted. The Bulls apparently have decided to take Elton Brand of Duke. Anyway, leaving out the possibility of trades, here is our 1999 mock draft. Elton Brand, 6-8 power forward, Duke. The Bulls weren't sold on Steve Francis because they said he wasn't big enough to play off-guard, nor was he a true point guard.
Brand is the safest bet.
The Bulls are also shopping Toni Kukoc. The Grizzlies were the only team he worked out for, and many general managers say that was by design. Steve Francis, 6-3 guard, Maryland. The Hornets are overjoyed to see Francis available. They tried to trade up and figured they would have to draft Brand and try to trade him.
