Looking at the Chicago Bulls rebuild with a sober eye

Related Topics: Chicago Bulls, Chicago

The biggest misconception Chicago Bulls fans have about any rebuild is that time and improvement both occur at the same rate, hand in hand.

And it makes sense when one looks at the stereotypical rebuild on paper.

The team will likely start by trading most of the meaningful players on the roster for draft picks and young players. The team is then bad for a handful of years and stumbles into a number of low draft picks during that time. Low draft picks in the NBA, say top-5 picks, pan out into legitimate contributors more often than they become complete busts.
