The Chicago Bulls will have a roster loaded with young players next season. Here’s a look at the five with the most to prove.

The Chicago Bulls will have a new look to their roster by the time the 2017-18 season begins, thanks in part to the moves the front office has made during the offseason.

Both Jimmy Butler (Minnesota Timberwolves) and Rajon Rondo (New Orleans Pelicans) are with new teams. As a result, the Bulls have lost their longest-tenured player in Butler and the best point guard on their roster in Rondo.

What remains is a group of younger players, which is what the organization wants as it heads into the first year of a new era. The problem is the younger players that the front office is relying on to take the next step have not done much to prove their mettle yet, which should make for a competitive training camp at several positions to say the least.

That being said, here is a look at five players with the most to prove heading into the 2017-18 season.
