For the record, this list isn’t just exclusive to players.
Fred Hoiberg, as well as Gar Forman and John Paxson are eligible to make the cut on this list of the current Chicago Bulls with the most to prove this upcoming season.
But before getting to the top five, here are the honorable mentions:
GarPax – Although the Bulls management team has lost a great deal of trust after last season, there is not much they can do during the season to show their worth.
Rajon Rondo – He is a complete head case who could cause major problems in the locker room. However, the fact that he is on a one-year contract with an option for next year hurt his case for making the top five on this list.
Bobby Portis – He had a promising rookie campaign and summer league. In his second year, Portis must build upon his early success.
Jerian Grant – He could be unfairly scrutinized by fans as Derrick Rose’s eventual replacement.
The new Benny the Bull – Benny is recognized as the gold standard of mascots across the sporting landscape. Whoever is stepping in has some big shoes to fill.
Well without further ado, here are the top five Bulls with something to prove this season.
