Predictions for the Bulls’ Upcoming Season

If you’re a Bulls fan, you’ll be interested to hear HOOPSWORLD.com’s five predictions for their upcoming season. Joel Brigham, a writer for the website, has made five guesses about the way that the Bulls’ 2007-2008 season will go. Prediction number one: Luol Deng will be an All-Star. We’ve all seen Deng’s great success playing for Great Britain this summer and he’s becoming more of a leader (not to mention tons of improvement), so it seems to be looking pretty good for Deng at this point. Prediction number two: Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich will not be All-Star’s. Due to competition with Chauncey Billups and Jason Kid, it looks like Kirk Hinrich is out of luck and although Gordon is expected to be one of the East’s most prolific scorers this year, there are plenty of other talented scoring guards in the league who may outdo him.

Prediction number three: Joakim Noah will make the All-Rookie team. Noah is bound to be the best rookie center in the NBA as long as he stays healthy and gets 15-20 minutes of playing time a game. Prediction number four: Ben Wallace will average more rebounds per game than last season. Wallace’s numbers weren’t so good last year, with 10.7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game down from 11.3 boards and 2.2 blocks, but Wallace is expected to bring that old energy back to the court this season. Prediction number five: The Bulls will lose in the Eastern Conference Finals. They play hard and work hard, but the Bulls don’t have the most talented team and are known for making baby steps. According to Brigham the Bulls will win the second round series and make an Eastern Conference Finals appearance, but go home with a loss. Well, some of you Bulls fans out there might want to take a different approach – a little faith never hurt.
