In most cases I would say it's unfair for the Milwaukee Bucks - of all teams - to take an unsolicited dig at the lack of promising players on the Chicago Bulls roster. After all, it took them lucking into a once-in-a-lifetime, potentially-not-of-this-planet genetic freak without even punching their ticket for the draft lottery for them to overcome a decade and half of complete irrelevance. That said, I have always been of the mindset that things that are the funniest when they are true, and I'm not even speaking facetiously when I say that 'Benny The Bull' might be the most exciting member of Chicago's professional basketball organization. Keep in mind that this promotion was meant to sell tickets, not rank prospects. So, if you took every Bucks fan from far and wide, from pampers to adult diapers, gave them the following list, and had them circle one Chicago Bull they were most interested in watching... I'd say the 29% of the lists that didn't immediately get crumbled up and thrown in the garbage would come back predominantly Pro-Benny. There might be a couple Lauri Markkanen's mixed in because of his draft position. You might see a few that have both Bobby Portis and Nikola Mirotic circled in hopes of alive rematch. A dunk enthusiast or two might be inclined to pick Zach LaVine. However, considering the unquestioned apathy of adults and the inherent love that children have for people dressed up as animals, 'Benny The Bull' would be the prohibitive favorite for most likely to draw fans. The Milwaukee Bucks definitely threw a sucker punch at a conference foe, but - after looking at that roster - it's tough to argue that it wasn't a financially responsible one.
