The one change that the Bulls have made in the starting lineup is second year power forward Tyrus Thomas will start in place of the departed P.J. Brown. This will make the front line of the Bulls even more powerful and athletic. Thomas played in 72 games as a rookie and he averaged 13.4 minutes, 5.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.1 blocks per game. Look for him to average close to a double-double this season if he averages over 30 minutes per game this season. Luol Deng really improved his game last season and their is still room for more growth. The starting small forward played in 82 games (all starts) last season for the Bulls and he averaged 37.5 minutes, 18.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He also shot an amazing 51.7% from the floor. The sky is the limit for Deng as an NBA player. The center will be Ben Wallace again this season and he gave the Bulls toughness, rebounding and defense in the middle last season and he should be able to produce good results again in 2007-08. He played in 77 games (all starts) last season for the Bulls and he averaged 35.0 minutes, 6.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 blocks per game. Wallace is one of the worst free throw shooters in the NBA (40.8%) and that won’t likely change this season so he could find himself on the bench the last couple minutes of every game. Kirk Hinrich will run the point again this season for the Bulls but he’s not a pure point guard as he likes to shoot the rock. He played in 80 games (all starts) for the Bulls last season and he averaged 35.5 minutes, 16.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Both he (41.5%) and Ben Gordon (41.3%) can really light it up from three point range and that opens up the inside for the big guys. Ben Gordon is a little small for a shooting guard but he knows how to put the ball in the basket. He played in 82 games (51 starts) last season for the Bulls and he averaged 33.0 minutes, 21.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
