Player B was Joakim Noah. Noah is a fan favorite and was an All-Star last year. With no Derrick Rose or Loul Deng, Joakim is officially the face of the franchise. Noah has gone 16 straight games with 10-plus rebounds and has averaged 13.9 points and 14.5 rebounds in the month of January. This late surge might get him into the game, but if I had to make the choice I would leave Noah off my roster. I do think he is deserving of a spot, but there are other players that have simply played better than him through the first half of the season.
