Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls are one of the bright young teams in the NBA with a promising future.

Although the Bulls finished 13th in the Eastern Conference last season (27-55), undeniable talent was showcased in Lauri Markkanen, Kris Dunn, Bobby Portis, Zach LaVine, and Denzel Valentine. They also just added Jabari Parker, who was Chicago’s top offseason acquisition, along with Wendell Carter Jr. and Chandler Hutchinson in the NBA Draft.

Their depth is intriguing and if the Bulls can manage to stay healthy and build great chemistry with their new teammates, they will have a great chance of making the playoffs. Fred Hoiberg will need to work his magic, but this is an intriguing roster nonetheless.
