Now roughly one week from the start of Training Camp for the 2021-22 season, the Chicago Bulls are mostly in a mode of looking forward to what’s to come in this critical campaign under second-year head coach Billy Donovan. The Bulls have a rejuvenated starting unit, that was put together thanks to executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley.

But how will the Bulls team for the 2021-22 season stack up to teams throughout the franchise’s history?

That question is too difficult to answer with the uncertainty as to how the Bulls will do in the Central Division this coming season. But we can look back at that once the Bulls are close to wrapping up the regular season.

Who should be on the list of most overrated players in Chicago Bulls’ history?

We do know what we don’t want to happen with this Bulls team, though. The last hope is that this Bulls’ team will wind up being overrated and that somehow this group is not able to snap the four-year-long postseason drought that fans in Chicago expect to be snapped in 2022.

If this Bulls team winds up being overrated, it would be a bad look for both the front office and coaching staff. It is also something that could fall back on some of the higher-profile Bulls players.
