*65 game season
The Bulls are one of the youngest teams in the NBA. Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. were born in 1997 and 1999, respectively. Coby White just turned 20 years old this past February. Enter Thaddeus Young, now a thirteen-year veteran from Georgia Tech, who the Bulls acquired in free agency in 2019. Young’s best playing days may be behind him (his career-high of 17.9 points per game came during the 2013-2014 season with the 76ers) but Thad can certainly still contribute on both ends of the floor. Playing in 64 of the 65 games this season, his value as a leader on the practice floor, the team buses and planes, and as an overall NBA professional goes beyond what shows up on a stat sheet.
