Orlando Woolridge was taken no. 6 overall in 1981 by the Chicago Bulls, and the Small Forward played his first five seasons there.

Woolridge only averaged 15.8 Minutes per Game as a rookie but started more than half as a sophomore and was a full blown starter in his third year, where he closed in on 20 Points per Game. He reached that mark in his fourth and fifth year in Chicago, where he inched over those marks though he didn't have to worry about that as much as Jordan arrived in 1984 (year four).

He would sign as a Veteran Free Agent with New Jersey in 1986, and he is the answer to the trivia question, who was the Bulls leading scorer in a season before Jordan.  With the Bulls, Woolridge averaged 17.4 Points per Game.

Taj Gibson was the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year in 2009 at USC, and the Chicago Bulls took him with the Twenty-Sixth Pick of that year's Draft.

The Power Forward started most of his games as a rookie, but he was best served coming off the bench.  Gibson still logged significant minutes and had two straight years with at least 10 Points and 6 Rebounds per Game (2013-14 & 2014-15).  He was an above-average defensive player who was in the top seven in Defensive Rating twice. 

Gibson was traded to Oklahoma City in 2017, and over his 562-Game career as a Bull, he averaged 9.4 Points, 6.4 Rebounds, and 1.2 Blocks per Game.

Talk about a winner!
