It was power forward day at the Berto Center Wednesday with some half dozen of the beefy ones banging at one another.
I had flashbacks to the 90’s: Byron Houston, Mark Randall, Corie Blount, Dickey Simpkins, Jason Caffey. The Bulls went five straight drafts from 1991 through 1995 using their first round pick on a power forward. This was after …
