Carlos Boozer was a two-time All-Star with the Utah Jazz, and while he was not able to gain a third with Chicago, he was still able to provide a solid two-way game in the four years he was a Bull.
John Paxson was a two-time Second Team All-American at Notre Dame, and after two years with the San Antonio Spurs, he joined the Chicago Bulls as a Veteran Free Agent.
The Point Guard was the consummate team player, who was content to defer to the team's stars (namely Michael Jordan) for the team's greater good. It made him a background player in Phil Jackson's Triangle Offense, but he was a good shooter when called upon, and he was an underrated defensive player. Paxson was a starter on Chicago's first two NBA Championships (1991 & 1992) and a backup on their third (1993), and he twice had 10-plus PPG seasons (1986-87 & 1989-90). Retiring in 1994, Paxson averaged 7.6 Points over 645 Games, but, again, it was the things he did that never appeared on a stat sheet that made him valuable to Jordan and company.
After his playing career, Paxson became an Assistant Coach under Jackson, winning a fourth Championship Ring in 1996. He left that role after 1 year to become a broadcaster, but would later become the Bulls GM in 2003 and later be their Vice President of Basketball Operations.
Normally a pro basketball player works up to their best pro season, but Dave Greenwood did it backward as his rookie year was his most productive.
Drafted from the University of Oregon in the Third Round in 1964, Dave Wilcox won the Left Linebacker role during his rookie season, and he would hold on to it until he retired after the 1974 Season.
