Levy, www.talentedmrroto.com 2004 OVERVIEW The Baby Bulls officially grew up, going 15-4 to close out the year before bowing to the Washington Wizards in the first round of the playoffs. It marked not only the first time since 1998 that Chicago made the playoffs, but also the first time since that year that people admitted to being Bulls fans again. Head coach Scott Skiles has transformed the look of this squad from a bunch of clueless college kids to a group of young stars who are actually working together towards a common goal. With all of the young talent back, the future once again looks bright in Chicago, from both a real basketball and fantasy perspective. ADDITIONS:Malik Allen Eddie Basden LOSSES:No significant losses. PROJECTED STARTING LINEUP: PG: Chris Duhon SG: Kirk Hinrich SF: Luol Deng PF: Antonio Davis C: Eddy Curry Key Bench Guys / Positional Battles: Quite a few. The Bulls are deep and full of fantasy options off the bench. Leading the group is Ben Gordon, the reigning Sixth Man Award winner, who came on strong towards the end of the year to give Emeka Okafor a run for his money in the ROY voting. Gordon, Luol Deng and Chris Duhon will battle for backcourt minutes, but whether he starts or comes off the bench, Gordon is a fantasy friendly thanks to his ability to get the ball in the hoop with a nice outside touch and Richard Hamilton-like quick release. In an ideal world, the non-fantasy roster worthy Duhon wouldn?t take so many minutes away in the backcourt, but there?s still no question that Gordon can put up all-star caliber numbers. Besides Gordon, Tyson Chandler is finally coming into his own after spending the last few years adjusting to life with the big boys. Chandler?s a tremendous inside presence who can rebound and block shots, but doesn?t really possess too much of an offensive game.</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
