gold star for USAHOF

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Chicago Bulls.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Bulls did not have a good year, but its core three all elevated their rankings. 

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Michael Jordan
2. Scottie Pippen
3. Artis Gilmore
4. Chet Walker
5. Horace Grant

You can find the entire list here.

Zach LaVine advanced to #15 from #18.

Guard DeMar DeRozan concluded three seasons with the Bulls (now with Sacramento) and rocketed up to #18 from #31.

Nikola Vucevic advanced from #36 to #32

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Chicago disappointed despite having a solid core comprising DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Zach LeVine, all of whom are factored in the alteration of this list.

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Michael Jordan

2. Scottie Pippen

3. Artis Gilmore

4. Chet Walker

5. Horace Grant

You can find the entire list here.

Two-time All-Star, Zach LaVine, advanced to #18 from #21.

DeMar DeRozan, who has been an All-Star in both of his Chicago years, climbed from #39 to #31.

The lone debut is Nikola Vucevic, who enters the list at #36.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Pre-2023-24 Rank #49.

Positional Notes:  LaVIne has also played at Small Forward and Point Guard.

Peak Period: From 2017-18 to 2023-24.  LaVine is still in his Peak Period.

Zach LaVine has done well with the Chicago Bulls thus far, appearing in two All-Star Games and posting five consecutive 23-plus PPG years, but the Bulls have not done much with him there.  Last year, he was injured for a good part of it, and as he approaches 30, he is running out of time to alter the narrative.

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.
