Please. The Bulls roster looks like something from 1977. This is one of the least athletic rosters I've ever seen.

I think the Bench will be about even.

 

No one though the Bench Mob would be what it was when it was assembled. Everyone thought it'd suck.

No, that was last year.

lol. Outside of Taj, there's nobody on this roster with above average athleticism (not counting Rose right now).

Marco Bellinili is a better athlete than Korver. Butler is a better athlete than Brewer. Nate Robinson is a better athlete than Lucas.

 

The improvement is gradual but enough to make an impact on games. I mean, we have actual guys that can execute a fast break now! A while ago we had nobody except Rose who would be good on a break.

I'm a better athlete than wite. That doesn't mean I'm athletic. And butler is NOT a better athlete than Brewer. Nate? You've got dunk contests from 2005 on the brain or something.

Nate is an actual NBA PG with years of experience. Lucas is a D league scrub. Nate can penetrate the lane and have some hope of finishing. Lucas cannot. Nate can pass the ball. Lucas can not.

 

Let me just win this one bro, Nate is a much better player (not just athlete) than Lucas.

 

and hell yes Butler is a better athlete than Brewer. What can Brewer do that Butler can't?

gmab. Brewer has been one of the better non-starter lock down defenders in the game. He's long, moves well laterally and is just overall a good athlete. Butler? What the hell has he done?

Butler is a real good athlete bro, not sure what you're seeing but...

Maybe by college basketball standards. He's got good size. I'm not saying he's going to be a scrub. But he doesn't standout from an athletic standpoint.

He can dunk, he can handle the ball a little and penetrate the lane and either lay it up or draw a foul. He can hit free throws at 80+%. He doesn't have a chicken wing arm that prevents him from ever being a consistent jump shooter. That's already better than Brewer. Defensively, he's not Ronnie Brewer but he's still very good. Stays with his man, challenges shots, doesn't foul much. Did a good job guarding Melo and Wade, wasn't lost or intimidated. Didn't make dumb mistakes.

lol. Oh my goodness. What are you talking about? He can dunk? Wow. So can Carlos Boozer. Luc Longley could come out of retirement and you'll try to turn it into a potential positive.

Dude, Boozer cannot run the floor, and penetrate the lane and dunk. Comparing Boozers athleticism to Jimmy's is downright horrible.

Jimmy Butler is far from an above the rim player. He's very crafty around the rim, but he's not an explosive leaper. As for Nate Robinson, at least the Bulls will have fun handshakes during the pre-game.

Yeah, I'm not saying he's Russell Westbrook or anything.

 

but

 

 

 

 

He definitely shows enough athleticism to get up to the rim and put it in.

 

 

Dude, I can post highlights of John Shurna that are more impressive than those dunks.

Butler did a decent job on Melo in one of the Bulls' early games against the Knicks.

 

Thibs actually played him down the stretch against Anthony.

This word you keep saying, I do not think it means what you think it means

 

 

It means players who can do things Carlos Boozer and Kurt Thomas can't.
