Chicago Bulls: What if they drafted perfectly through the 2010s

Perfect Chicago Bulls NBA Drafts: 2012 Draft

The 2011-2012 season looked to be another bright spot for the Chicago Bulls. They were once again the top-seeded team in the Eastern Conference with a record of 50-16.

Chicago had the fifth-best offensive rating and the second-best defensive rating. It was looking as if this could be the year that they won the NBA Finals, however, things took a turn for the worse in the first round.

With the game already in the hands of the Bulls, the starters were left in the game and we would experience the first of many injuries for Derrick Rose. If this freak injury would not have happened, it is not a stretch to think that the Bulls could have possibly taken down the Miami Heat and went on to win the Finals.

However, without Rose, they were defeated in six games.

Jae Crowder

With the 29th overall pick, the Bulls selected Marquis Teague. Teague did not do much in the NBA, retiring after three years with averages of 2.4 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.5 rebounds per game. In the redraft, the Bulls selected Jae Crowder.

Crowder is another versatile defender to add to the roster. While he will by no means make up for the lapse in offense the team will experience without Rose, he will be another great rotational player to help Butler carry the weight of the team.

Crowder would be a great defensive addition and can stretch the floor on offense.
