gold star for USAHOF

40. Brad Miller

In the journeys of Brad Miller, the Center found himself in the Windy City as a professional twice.

38. Nikola Mirotic

Nikola Mirotic was taken 23rdOverall by Houston in 2011, but he was traded twice that day to become a Chicago Bull, although that would not happen for years.

46. Clem Haskins

Taken Third Overall by the Bulls in the 1967 Draft, Clem Haskins arrived in Chicago as an All-American and three-time OVC Player of the Year.

Bill Cartwright was an All-Star as a rookie for the New York Knicks in 1980, and that would be the only time he played in the mid-season classic.  The Center was with the Knicks until 1988 when he was traded to the Bulls, which would bring him his greatest team success in basketball.

49. Scott May

Scott May had about as good a year as you could in 1975-76 when he was a senior at Indiana.  Playing at Small Forward for the Bobby Knight coached team, May took the Hoosiers to an undefeated season, an NCAA Championship, and was the consensus MVP.  The nearby Chicago Bulls took May with the Second Overall Pick that year.

48. Will Perdue

The 1988 SEC Player of the Year at Vanderbilt, Will Perdue, was Chicago 1stRound Pick (11thOverall), where the Center would become Bill Cartwright's backup for six years.

37. Elton Brand

The Chicago Bulls had the first overall pick in the NBA Draft, and they took Elton Brand, the Duke sophomore who was named the ACC Player of the Year, and National College Player of the Year.

34. Dave Corzine

The Chicago Bulls were Dave Corzine's third team, having played two years a piece for the Washington Bullets and the San Antonio Spurs before he was traded to his hometown.

36. Tyson Chandler

Tyson Chandler was the Second Overall Pick in 2001 by the Los Angeles Clippers.  The Clippers traded Chandler immediately to Chicago for Elton Brand, and there was hope that the Bulls would be able to build their team around the Center.

33. Ron Harper

Ron Harper knew that his stats would plummet when he signed with the Chicago Bulls in 1994.  Before he signed that Free Agent deal with the Bulls, Harper had four 20-plus PPG seasons in the NBA, including the year before he joined Chicago.  Harper was expected to score in droves for the Los Angeles Clippers (his previous team), but on the star-laden Bulls, he didn't have to.

31. Pau Gasol

When people think of Pau Gasol, they will always think of the Los Angeles Lakers first.  They should, but don't sleep on his two years with the Chicago Bulls, where he played the most complete basketball of his career.

39. Andres Nocioni

Andres Nocioni played in the Spanish League for years, and his performance in Argentina's 2004 Olympic Gold Medal win landed him a contract with the Chicago Bulls.

35. Bob Weiss

An NBA Champion with the Philadelphia 76ers in 1976, Weiss was traded from his third NBA team, Milwaukee to the Chicago Bulls during the 1968-69 Season.

30. Clifford Ray

Clifford Ray was taken number 40 in the 1971 Draft, but despite that late selection, the Oklahoma Sooner made the Chicago Bulls roster

27. Dave Greenwood

Normally a pro basketball player works up to their best pro season, but Dave Greenwood did it backward as his rookie year was his most productive.

19. Mickey Johnson

Mickey Johnson was a Fourth Round Pick by Portland in 1974, but he was traded for a future Third Round Pick to Chicago before he played for them.

25. Taj Gibson

Taj Gibson was the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year in 2009 at USC, and the Chicago Bulls took him with the Twenty-Sixth Pick of that year's Draft.

24. Steve Kerr

Talk about a winner!

15. Zach LaVine

Arriving as part of a blockbuster trade that sent Jimmy Butler to Minnesota, Zack LaVine became a scoring star in Chicago, though many basketball pundits believed that would transpire.

29. Carlos Boozer

Carlos Boozer was a two-time All-Star with the Utah Jazz, and while he was not able to gain a third with Chicago, he was still able to provide a solid two-way game in the four years he was a Bull.
