The 1968–69 Chicago Bulls were led offensively by Bob Boozer, with Clem Haskins and Jerry Sloan providing additional scoring while handling major backcourt responsibilities. Jim Washington and rookie Tom Boerwinkle gave the team a strong rebounding foundation, but the statistics reflect an offense that struggled for efficiency and production. Chicago’s success came more from balanced contributions and solid work on the glass than from offensive firepower.
Here is the Chicago Bulls 1968–69 Roster and Regular Season Player Statistics. This was the Bulls’ third season in the NBA.
