Bob Boozer had a long list of accomplishments before he ever donned a Chicago Bulls uniform.

Reggie Theus is arguably the player who put UNLV on the map, as he was the star who took the Runnin' Rebels to their first Final Four.  This put Theus on the national radar, and he was the Ninth Overall Pick, taken by the Chicago Bulls in 1978.

The Guard was a First Team All-Rookie with 16.3 Points per Game, which was followed by a 20.2 PPG.  "Rush Street Reggie" was slightly worse statistically in his third year (18.9 PPG), but he was named an NBA All-Star, representing Chicago in that game.  With similar metrics in his fourth year, Theus had his best season in Professional Basketball right after (1982-83), when he was an All-Star again, posting career highs of 23.8 PPG and a 19.2 PER.

A Third-Team All-American at the University of Kansas, Kirk Hinrich was taken by the Chicago Bulls with the Seventh Overall Pick in the loaded 2003 Class.  Hinrich was never a star NBA player, but his workmanlike skills carved out a long career in the Association.

In the 1980s, The San Francisco 49ers were a high-octane team known primarily for their stars at Quarterback (Joe Montana) and Jerry Rice (Wide Receiver).  However, if you are going to be blowing teams out, that means your defense was holding down opponents, which San Francisco did in the 80s through the leadership of Ronnie Lott.
