The Chicago Bulls figure to be counting on their two forwards, Deng and Boozer, plenty this season until Derrick Rose returns. Last year Deng appeared in 54 games for the Bulls and averaged 15.3 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 2.9 APG, and 1 SPG. Much like Boozer, Deng can expect to average more points scoring with Rose out, but once Rose returns we expect to see his numbers return to last year’s averages, making him a solid pickup in the late 5th/ early 6th round of drafts. One word of caution on Deng, we are hearing rumors that he has an injured wrist, which he continues to deny, but there is a chance he misses significant time if he is hiding an injury.
