NBA: 5 big overreactions at the one-month mark of the season

The Chicago Bulls are for real and DeMar DeRozan is the MVP

During the offseason, the Chicago Bulls made a concerted effort to improve the roster and shift from being a rebuilding team to a team that is going to win now. They did so by acquiring Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan.

Through the first month of the season, the Bulls have been better than impressive and while Ball has been good and productive for the team, it’s DeRozan that has been at the forefront of the team’s early-season success.

The Bulls are 10-4 through the first 14 games of the season and DeRozan is leading the way by averaging 27 points, five rebounds, and four assists per game on 51 percent shooting from the field and 37 percent shooting from 3-point range.
