What will the Bulls bench chemistry be like this season?

One of the great things about the bench mob last season was the tremendous chemistry the group had together. Chicago famously let every bench mob player under contract leave to bring in a new, cheaper group. They were all cut from the high character cloth that Forman/Paxson are famous for going after.

Kirk Hinrich obviously still fits that mold. He knows the organization. He knows a bunch of the players. Chemistry wise, he should fit right back in with the group easily, and his attitude will certainly work well under Thibodeau. While many have questioned his performance over the past couple of years, the way he goes about his business and fits into the locker room should be a big plus [and hopefully the performance will be better than people think].

Nate Robinson's a very loud personality both on and off the court, and it will be interesting to see how he fits into a locker room that hasn't really had a personality like his in it before. I wouldn't characterize him as being a bad character guy, but he's a very different type of character guy than the Bulls have had in the past. In some ways, I think the Bulls might need a shot of his character. Sometimes you need someone to rile everyone up. Too much of that is a bad thing, but not enough of it isn't good either, and the Bulls have likely been on the 'not enough' side of that equation for the past five or six years. While it could obviously go either way, I think Robinson's personality will really help this locker room.

Nazr Mohammad is one of the league's great guys. He's going to fit right in with the organization. He'll do everything asked of him and gives the team an excellent Kurt Thomas-esque type of leadership and presence. He'll be a big plus to the chemistry of the group and provide some veteran leadership doing all of the little things a team needs.
