Roster

This is Scott Skiles' fouth year as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls. He previously coached the Phoenix Suns for 3 years. As a player Scott was drafted by Milwaukee with the 22nd overall draft pick. He later played for Indiana, Orlando, Washington, and Philadelphia in his 11 year career. Scott has instilled toughness and agressiveness in the minds of all the Bulls players.

Malik Allen is a 28 year old PF out of Villanova. He is 6-10, 255 lbs. and can provide a much needed spark coming off the bench. In his six year career he started with the Miami Heat and was later moved to the Charlotte Bobcats. Now he is in his second year with the team hoping to provide a needed boost from a very talented bench group.

Martynas Andriuskevicius was acquired this offseason from the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is a 7-2, 240 lbs., C from the USSR. He is now playing in Dakota in the NBDL. Hopefully as he develops he can become a key contributer to the Bulls team.

Andre Barrett is a 2nd year PG out of Seton Hall that has had experience with many teams despite being in the NBA for only 2 years. He is 5-10, 173 lbs. and has played with Orlando, Houston, Phoenix, Toronto and now Chicago.

P.J. Brown was traded to the Bulls from New Orleans and was named a team captain. P.J. is 36 years old and provides a much better low post threat than what we had last year. He is 6-11, 239 lbs. and provides great veteren leadership for this team.

Luol Deng was drafted out of Duke by Phoenix in 2004. He was then traded to the Bulls on draft day. He is 6-9, 220 lbs. and provides a great second scoring option to Ben Gordon. He can drive to the lane, shoot the outside jumper and play some great defense. He is the complete package.

Chris Duhon was drafted out of Duke the same year as Luol Deng. He is 6-1, 185, and is a great shut down defender coming off the bench. Another great asset about Duhon is that he can come off the bench and shoot the three. Duhon is definitely a guy that any team would want coming off their bench.

Ben Gordon was also drafted in 2004 out of Conneticut. He is the leading scorer on thee Bulls and can shoot from anywhere. He is 6-3, 200 lbs. and has great court vision along with his sweet shot. Opposing teams should definitely be afraid of this guy because when he's hot, he's hot.

Adrian Griffin was snagged in the offseason from Dallas because of his lights out defense. He has been in the NBA for 7 years and is 6-5, 230 lbs. He has lots of experience being on teams such as Boston, Dallas(twice), and Houston. He has been in Chicago before so he knows what it takes to be a Bull.

Kirk Hinrich is another Captain for the Bulls who really knows how to run the point. He is 6-3, 190 lbs. out of Kansas. He knows how to handle the ball and has great vision. He can also step back and take the deep jumpers. Kirk Hinrich is a model for exactly what you would want in a PG.

Viktor Khryapa was acquired from Portland as a part of a draft day trade for Tyrus Thomas. The 6-9, 218 lbs., Khryapa was originally drafted by the Nets in the 2004 NBA Draft. From Russia, Khryapa provides a needed big man off the bench

Andres Nocioni was signed by the Bulls from Argentina in 2004. This 6-7, 235 lbs. F provides incredible toughness and agressiveness that Scott Skiles wants all his players to possess. He can be a threat in the post and also shoot the three. Not many players can do both. Nocioni is definitely a key factor to the Bulls winning scheme.

Thabo Sefolosha, who is from Switzerland, is a rookie that was acquired on draft day in a trade with Philadelphia. Sefolosha was taken to be a defensive SG at 6-7, 215 lbs., but is starting to get in the zone offensively. Sefolosha is another one of those players on the Bulls bench who can give quality minutes on the court.

Michael Sweetney is a 6-8, 270 lbs., PF, who was acquired from the Knicks in a big multi-player deal. He came to the NBA out of Georgetown and was projected to be a big threat in the low post. He wasn't an immediate impact player, but is now really starting to play some really good basketball.

Tyrus Thomas is a high flying PF, out of LSU. The Bulls got him from Portland in a draft day trade. Tyrus is known for his soaring dunks and his monsterous blocks. He needs to work on his mid range shot, but if he gets that down he be quite a post player.

Ben Wallace, out of Virginia Union, was acquired from Detroit this offseason. He is known for his great defensive skills. He is a great blocker and a very skilled rebounder. He definitely needs work on his offensive scoring, but his skilled defensive play makes up for the lack of offense.
