Joakim Noah is feeling much better physically this season, after spending time this summer doing training and conditioning work at P3 Sports Science Academy in Santa Barbara, CA.

But that fact hasn't helped him on the offensive end of the floor yet during the preseason.

Even if Noah continues to struggle with put-backs and finishing around the rim, his value on the defensive end of the floor will ensure he'll get plenty of minutes. The Bulls have enough firepower offensively, so they can afford to be patient as Noah works to find his way when the ball ends up in his hands.
