#1 Joakim Noah
Noah should have won MVP last season. The Bulls would have been a lottery team if it wasn’t for the stellar play of Noah. Defensively Noah dominated the paint, averaging two blocks and a steals per game. Offensively Noah was a game changer for Chicago. His 5.1 assist per game were number one in the NBA for post players. With a healthy Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol playing for Chicago, the Bulls have a chip-or-bust approach to this season.
