Rose has started off slow to begin this season. He is finding and playing his way to become that elite player again. He has his quickness and bounce, just his timing's been off. But he is starting to play well and getting his rhythm back. He just has to stay healthy and avoid those minor injuries.
Butler hasn't played well at all this season. He hasn't gotten comfortable being a starter yet. His jumper has betrayed him and he looks like he's lost on an island. The one thing he always does, though, is play defense. He just has to find his offense and chemistry with D. Rose and everything else will fall in place for Jimmy "Buckets."
Luol Deng is starting to find his groove in the offense. He has been very up and down this season. His jump shot has not been on point and he is not attacking the basket like normal, but then one game he almost had a triple-double. When his offense isn't rolling, he can be relied upon to play his all world defense.
Boozer has been the Bulls' most consistent player thus far, which is surprising to some. His passion and dedication has never been questioned. It's the offensive efficiency that was lacking. But this season, his offense is rolling, averaging 17 points and eight rebounds in seven games. His jump shot seems more lethal and he is playing in the low post to do damage. If he keeps this rate up, the Bulls will be a force later in the season.
Noah is the heart and soul of this Bulls' team. He missed all of the preseason because of a groin injury, but was ready to roll in the regular season opener. He was not in game shape in the beginning of the year, but he is starting to find his groove. He's all over the court, rebounding, blocking shots, passing and the energy is back. That's the Noah we know.
