The Bulls roster looks like something from 1977. This is one of the least athletic rosters I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think the Bench will be about even. No one though the Bench Mob would be what it was when it was assembled. Everyone thought it'd suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Taj, there's nobody on this roster with above average athleticism (not counting Rose right now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZZZA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Marco Bellinili is a better athlete than Korver. Butler is a better athlete than Brewer. Nate Robinson is a better athlete than Lucas. The improvement is gradual but enough to make an impact on games. I mean, we have actual guys that can execute a fast break now! A while ago we had nobody except Rose who would be good on a break.

RZZZA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Nate is an actual NBA PG with years of experience. Lucas is a D league scrub. Nate can penetrate the lane and have some hope of finishing. Lucas cannot. Nate can pass the ball. Lucas can not. Let me just win this one bro, Nate is a much better player (not just athlete) than Lucas. and hell yes Butler is a better athlete than Brewer. What can Brewer do that Butler can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewer has been one of the better non-starter lock down defenders in the game. He's long, moves well laterally and is just overall a good athlete. Butler? What the hell has he done?

Maybe by college basketball standards. He's got good size. I'm not saying he's going to be a scrub. But he doesn't standout from an athletic standpoint.

RZZZA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 He can dunk, he can handle the ball a little and penetrate the lane and either lay it up or draw a foul. He can hit free throws at 80+%. He doesn't have a chicken wing arm that prevents him from ever being a consistent jump shooter. That's already better than Brewer. Defensively, he's not Ronnie Brewer but he's still very good. Stays with his man, challenges shots, doesn't foul much. Did a good job guarding Melo and Wade, wasn't lost or intimidated. Didn't make dumb mistakes.

RZZZA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Dude, Boozer cannot run the floor, and penetrate the lane and dunk. Comparing Boozers athleticism to Jimmy's is downright horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jimmy Butler is far from an above the rim player. He's very crafty around the rim, but he's not an explosive leaper. As for Nate Robinson, at least the Bulls will have fun handshakes during the pre-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZZZA Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yeah, I'm not saying he's Russell Westbrook or anything. but He definitely shows enough athleticism to get up to the rim and put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
