Jay Mariotti of the Chicago Sun-Times voices his opinion on the teenage phenoms Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry, looking at their past, present, and their bright futures.

'The problem with The Organizations Win Championships Tour, Back to the Drawing Board phase, is its dependency on patience in a town with precious little left. That's why it's important Curry and Chandler make contributions early, to assure fans that Jerry Krause hasn't lost his mind in banking his teetering reputation on the lads. It's risky business, these Boyz-to-Men projections of teenagers as pros, and it's obvious the Baby Bulls will remain projects longer than Chicago prefers to wait.' writes Mariotti.

Whether he is right or wrong is up for dispute, but one thing is for sure... Chandler and Curry are both out to excite the United Center like it is 1998. They are the future, and right now any win is a bonus.
