Building the best hooper with attributes from Chicago Bulls players

Athleticism

Shaquille Harrison is a crazy-good athlete, but we aren’t going to use him here for two reasons: We already used him for his name, and Zach LaVine might be the best athlete in the entire NBA.

Thanks to two dunk contest championships, everyone knows LaVine can jump, but his athleticism goes far beyond leaping ability. His first step is irreverent to anyone trying to check him. His blow-by capability is unparalleled. It’s similar to the Russell Westbrook of five years ago.

Even if I had the whole NBA to choose from, LaVine would still probably be my pick for athleticism. So when it’s narrowed down to only Chicago Bulls players, the choice is easy.

Hustle

There aren’t many players in the league that work as hard as Ryan Arcidiacono. That’s why we’re stealing his hustle for Shaquille Mokoka.

Remember this play from last season?

Arch laying out and going into the stands isn’t a rarity. He basically lives on the floor. That’s the hustle we need our guy to have.
