Parker comes home to help ignite young Bulls roster

The Bulls Saturday signed Milwaukee Bucks and onetime Simeon Career Academy star Jabari Parker to a reported two-year contract.

It doesn't mean the Bulls rebuilding plan is or will be a success. But it does complete an extraordinary 13-month period in which the Bulls in an unusually short time now have in place five former draft lottery selections all under 25 years old.

It's also not necessarily considered the conclusion of the Bulls personnel efforts.

But in a relatively short period of time, the Bulls will be able to feature a starting lineup that includes talented and celebrated players who were regarded among the best in the nation coming into the NBA, a lineup that fits with the modern NBA with tall and long armed players who are versatile and can play multiple positions.
