ROSTER AND ANALYSIS
#35-Malik Allen-PF-6'10"-255-5 Years-Villanova-Allen is a good backup for Brown and rookie Thomas. Allen will get good playing time and will scorea bout 6 points per game.
#15-Martynas Andriuskevicius-C-7'2"-240-1 Years-None-Andriuskevicius is a tall athletic rebounder an will be a great backup behind Ben Wallace. Andriuskevicius will play well in his first season with the Bulls.
#11-Andre Barrett-PG-5'10"-172-2 Years-Seton Hall-After two years spent with Houston Barrett joins the Bulls and the lets them have a PG trio. Barrett will have some playing time and some points. But until after pre-season he's 3rd string.
#42-P.J. Brown-FC-6'11"-239-13 Years-Louisiana Tech-After 6 years being in New Orleans, 4 in Miami, 3 in New Jersey he looks to have a long career in Chicago and score points as the starting PF.
#9-Luol Deng-F-6'9"-220-2 Years-Duke-With 2 Years here in Chi-town Deng should be looking to get a bunch of playing time and a bunch of points. He should be a key target in this Chicago offense.
#21-Chris Duhon-PG-6'1"-185-2 Years-Duke-Her in Chicago Chris Duhon has been a time-playing point guard behind Kirk Hinrich. Duhon will keep playing like that and he'll keep backing up Kirk Hinrich and maybe start a few games.
#7-Ben Gordon-G-6'3"-200-2 Years-Connecticut-Gordon is a champion coming out of Connecticut into his 3rd year. The Bulls drafted him with the 4th pick in the draft traded for luol Deng in the 9th pick and picked Duhon in the second round. Gordon has been the starting SG since and it looks like still will be although he has rookie Thabo Sefolosha(tabo sef-o-lo-sha) behind him which is a tough match.
#44-Adrian Griffin-GF-6'5"-230-7 Years-Seton Hall-Adrian Griffin played with the Bulls from 2004-2005 and then joined the Mavericks where got a lot less time than on the Bulls. The Bulls have now resigned him to back up Nocioni, Deng, and Gordon at SG and SF.
#12-Kirk Hinrich-G-6'3"-190-3 Years-Kansas-Entering his 4th Year as the Bulls starting PG, Hinrich hopes to get some more playing time against the big guys at SG. Hinrich blows fans away with his thrilling game-ending threes and we hope he can get a couple more this year.
#38-Viktor Khryapa-SF-6'9"-210-2 Years-None-Khryapa is entering his first year with the Bulls and his 3rd season in the NBA. He hopes to move up the rankings in the preseason as he's the 4th SF on the depth chart.
#5-Andres Nocioni-F-6'7"-225-2 Years-None-Nocioni come s in his 3rd year with the Bulls as the starting SF. An undrafted rookie in 2004, Nocioni has become one of the great leaders on the Bulls team.
#2-Thabo Sefolosha-GF-6'5"-215-Rookie-None-1st year man with the Bulls is looking to do a lot. 13th pick and traded for in this year's draft, Sefolosha hopes to make a big impact in his 1st year in uniform. Sefolosha did great in Poland and the Bulls answered that right away when the 76ers picked him. They picked up the best SF available and dialed the 76ers number and said Carney for Sefolosha. Carney has also made a big impact on his team already.
#50-Mike Sweetney-FC-6'8"-270-3 Years-Georgetown-When Sweetney joined the Bulls the fans thought he wouldn't do anything. He is listed as the #3 C and #2 PF. Fans now love him and hope he will be on the court more.
#24-Tyrus Thomas-F-6'9"-215-Rookie-LSU-Thomas was the 4th pick in the draft and was also traded for. He could of just went at 2 but the Blazers didn't think Aldridge would be there. Thomas hopes to do a lot for this team as the top pick.
#3-Ben Wallace-C-6'9"-240-10 Years-Virgimia Union-Ben Wallace was picked up by the Chicago Bulls this offseason and is the #2 best C in the league, #1 Shaq, but he's the #1 C on the team's depth chart and probably will contribute a lot to the team.
