Chicago Bulls sign top two draft picks, Thomas and Sefolosha

CHICAGO (AP) _ The Chicago Bulls signed first-round draft picks Tyrus Thomas and Thabo Sefolosha on Tuesday.

Details of the contracts were not disclosed.

The six-foot-nine Thomas, who LSU to the Final Four and averaged 12.3 points and nine rebounds as a redshirt freshman, was drafted No. 4 overall by Portland and then traded to the Bulls. Chicago, which had the No. 2 pick overall took LaMarcus Aldridge and shipped him to the Trail Blazers in the trade that also brought Viktor Khryapa to the Bulls.

The six-foot-five Sefolosha was selected 13th overall by Philadelphia, then acquired by Chicago for the Bulls' 16th overall selection of Rodney Carney, a future second-round draft choice and cash.

Sefolosha played in 21 games for Angelico Biella of Italy's A League where he averaged 12 points and six rebounds.
