The Bulls need size, Hawes is a legit 7-footer. The Bulls need post scoring, and Hawes projects that role. All indications are that Hawes has the skills, just not yet the physical maturity to fully contribute at the NBA level. But this isn't just reaching for anybody who's big, Hawes is still very young and full of potential. Firmly entrenched as a playoff team, the Bulls can afford to wait on him and find veteran frontcourt help through free agency and trades, but it seems that even as a rookie his scoring ability will come in handy more and more asthe season goes along.
