23. Chicago Bulls

Remember the Chicago Bulls bench from their storied resurgence a few years back? All but Taj Gibson are gone. And now Jimmy Butler will be handling starting duties full time. The Replacement Bulls Bench All-Stars (Nate Robinson, Marco Bellineli) have also been run out of the Windy City. Mike Dunleavy’s talents include shooting and relentless booing by Warriors fans. Kirk Hinrich is a known quantity to Bulls fans. Marquis Teague is a third string point guard and will likely struggle to find playing time behind Derrick Rose and Hinrich. Tony Snell is untested and Nazr Mohammed is old. I fully expect the Bulls to win over fifty games and give any of the elite teams nightmares, but that is certainly not because of their bench. This bench is nothing special. It’s hard to even think of what else can possibly be said about it. They seem like nice enough guys?
