Shooting Guard: Justin Holiday, Denzel Valentine, David Nwaba

Small Forward: Zach LaVine, Paul Zipser, Quincy Pondexter

Power Forward: Bobby Portis, Nikola Mirotic, Lauri Markkanen

Fred Hoiberg leaves the young players on a leash.Kris Dunn can show in Windy City what he couldn’t or wasn’t allowed to show in Minnesota.Together with the recovered Zach LaVine they form one of the more exciting backcourt duos of the league.

Lauri Markkanen makes room for the two of them, who finds his touch and meets more than 40 percent of them from outside.After the season Dirk Nowitzki registers himself and offers the Finns to complete a few training sessions with him.

It’s also happening for Paul Zipser.He establishes himself as a solid starter and plays 35 minutes per game.The Bulls have nothing to do with the playoffs, but their young and refreshing style makes for a reconciliation with the fans.At the end of the season, a top 3 pick jumps out.A first step in the rebuild.

The Bulls are degenerating into a laughing stock of the league.LaVine plays outstanding stats, but his team loses most of the games.Markkanen is not hit at all at the beginning of the season and is banned by Hoiberg to the end of the rotation.In February, management pulls the rip cord.After a few days of looking for a new coach, the Front Office decided to minimize costs, John Paxson and Gar Forman simply coach the team themselves from now on.

In their system, LaVine and Dunn are almost exclusively spalding, while the rest of the team are bored watching.The Bulls scratch at the negative record of the Sixers, but ultimately win 15 games.In the lottery, Chicago is unlucky and only gets the fourth pick, which is traded to Golden State for cash.Paxson and Forman extend their contracts in line with each other until 2025.

Forecast: 5.Place in the Central Division.
