Jimmy Butler is an interesting basketball player.  He is phenomenal on the court, enigmatic off of it, and when his career ends, we want to see a detailed career retrospective on Butler in the vein of Jordan's "Last Dance."  We're serious; we find him fascinating!

One of the more enduring scenes of the 2007 Draft was the image of Joakim Noah, in a suit that only he could wear, a Bulls cap on his head with a mountain of hair spilling out of it.  The son of the former tennis star, Yannick Noah, might have looked a little silly to some "traditional" viewers. What they should have been seeing was an excellent basketball player.

Noah was part of a trio with Corey Brewer and Al Jefferson that won two National Championships at Florida.  The Center was the Ninth Overall Pick in 2007 by the Chicago Bulls. They slowly worked Noah into their system, with him becoming a permanent starter in his third year, where he averaged a double-double (10.7 Points and 11.0 Rebounds). He did it again the following year (11.7 Points and 10.4 Rebounds) with a Second Team All-Defensive Selection as a reward.

Noah’s boarding average slipped below 10 in 2011-12 (9.8), but he followed that with his two best years as a basketball player.  Noah went to the All-Star Game in both 2013 and 2014, again with double-double averages. Noah’s defense was stellar in his timeframe as First Team All-Defensive in both years, and he won the coveted Defensive Player of the Year in 2013-14.  

Noah's play slipped over the next two years, and his stay in Chicago ended when he signed with the New York Knicks in 2016.  With the Bulls, Noah had averaged 9.3 Points, 9.4 Rebounds, and 1.4 Blocks per Game. 

Horace Grant was the 1987 ACC Player of the Year when he played at Clemson, which helped him become a First Round Pick (10^th Overall) by the Bulls.

Walker’s NBA career began in 1962 as a Syracuse National, and when the team moved to Philadelphia and turned into the 76ers, his career grew alongside his team's audience.  Walker was a three-time All-Star in Philly and a champion when the team won the title in 1967.  But this isn't a list about the greatest Sixers.

Walker was traded to the Chicago Bulls in 1969, and he would do more with the rock as a Bull on a team that was far less talented overall than the Philadelphia 76ers.  The Small Forward scoring efficiency was higher in Chicago, with his Field Goal Percentage going over .475 five times with Chicago, in comparison to his one time in Philadelphia.  Walker never had a Free Throw Percentage lower than .832 as a Bull, and he led the NBA in that stat in 1970-71 (.859).

The former Bradley Brave played in four All-Star Games with Chicago and averaged 20.5 Points per game in the Windy City.

Walker entered the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2012.
