The Bulls have experienced massive reinforcements in the offseason, and in 2021 they became a dark horse team in the East, winning against many strong players, and 2022 is coming, taking stock of the 3 best players of the Bulls in the past games.
3. Thaddeus Young
The only one on the list who isn't on the Bulls' current roster is Thaddeus Young, one of the most efficient players in the Bulls lineup last season in 2021, and Donovan has found a way to make Young the centerpiece of the rotation lineup, one of the best bench players in the East.
He also influenced the team with a new style of play on the offensive end, averaging more than 4 assists per game for the first time in his career, and last season he achieved a career-high 3.3 plus-minus and a player efficiency of 20.3.
Young was definitely one of the most frustrating of the changes the Bulls have made in the offseason, and he was a necessary "victim," but his performances last season were impeccable and he was happy to see him play at the Spurs this season.
2. Lavin
2021 was the year laVine had an explosion at the Bulls, entering his first all-Star team of his career, and while he didn't lead the team to good results last season, it was still a very special season. If LaVine continues to play like he did in his previous 32 games this season, he will be named an NBA All-Star for two consecutive years.
Over the past two seasons, LaVine has averaged 27 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game, while maintaining a 50% shooting percentage and a 40% three-point shooting rate.
His rapid growth is also the driving force behind the Bulls' lineup reinforcement around him, he has not made the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons, and for now, it will be achieved in 2022.
DeRozan
The Bulls have definitely been one of the luckiest things this season, DeRozan's performance this season is obvious to all, he is currently the king of the NBA's final quarter, the performance in the key moments is very terrible, and it is also one of the reasons why the Bulls have achieved such a record, deRozan is also one of the competitors in this season's MVP.
DeRozan has largely reinvented his style of play, which he has struggled to do throughout his career, setting his own record while leading the Bulls to a strong team.
