Notre Dame’s Harangody to the Bulls?

Luke Harangody of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish is slated to work out with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls, reports the Chicago Tribune. The Bulls do have somewhat of a need for an interior player, one who can rebound, clog up the lane and provide post offense. That’s exactly what Harangody was for the Irish last season, as he was a top team scorer and rebounder in the NCAA. He was an All-American, a Big East Player of the Year and an all-around workhorse for the Irish. Harangody hasn’t decided whether or not he will return to Notre Dame or go pro. He has less than a week to decide.

How good would Luke Harangody be in the NBA? Well, he’s pretty comparable to other bigs who people think will do fine, such as Blake Griffin, DeJuan Blair and, to a lesser extent, Tyler Hansborough. Here’s a nice little free profile on Luke, via draftexpress.com. Luke’s a classic case of a guy who might, technically be ready to be drafted late first round, but wants to be a higher lottery and could benefit from another year of devouring monster stats in the Big East.
