Bringing the former Bulls big man Jack Haley around for a second stint with the team in 1995-96 (the return title year with MJ), didn’t make a whole lot of sense. This is the start of when the supporting casts started to fall off again around MJ. The Bulls did get those famed three more titles in three consecutive years, but it wasn’t to much help of Haley.

The 6-foot-10 and 240 pound power forward/center that was the fourth round pick of the Bulls in the 1989 NBA Draft Haley played in the Windy City for three different seasons. In those three seasons, he played in 63 games and started in just one of them. The bulk of his games played in Chicago were during his rookie campaign too.

His rookie season came just before the Bulls would win their first title during the Jordan years. The Bulls would dish Haley out to the New Jersey Nets prior to winning that first title in the 1990’s. The problem with Haley’s run in the NBA was that some of his most productive and efficient seasons came with the Bulls.

Haley averaged 2.2 points per game, 1.4 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0 blocks, while shooting 46.2 percent from the field with the Bulls. That helped to amount to a box plus/minus rating of -6.1, valuer over replacement player rating of -0.4, .054 win shares per 48 minutes, and a 54.6 true shooting percentage.
