With an untimely playoff exit, the Chicago Bulls can now turn their attention to personnel matters—the 2015 NBA Draft being the most immediate. This club had a very balanced 2014-15 roster, but it was still evident that there were gaps to fill at the power forward, center and point guard positions.
The scoring regression of Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson and the aging of third-string reserve Nazr Mohammed makes a pretty strong case for taking an offensively inclined big man. Pau Gasol had a very good campaign, but his age also merits having someone younger waiting in the wings.
