League Search Page > NBA > Chicago Bulls > Roster & Statistics

The 2007–08 Chicago Bulls relied on Ben Gordon as their primary scorer, while Luol Deng provided balanced production on both ends of the floor before injuries limited his season. Andrés Nocioni added frontcourt scoring, and Kirk Hinrich handled much of the playmaking responsibility. Joakim Noah contributed rebounding and interior defense as a rookie, but inconsistent shooting efficiency and uneven offensive production hindered the team’s overall performance.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Team Impact Spotlight

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Luol Deng Starter/Star 33.8 High 17.0 6.3 2.5 1.4 71.02 Two-way wing carried much of Chicago’s offensive load after injuries and roster changes hit the team. Deng’s mid-range scoring, transition play and defensive versatility made him one of the few steady pieces during a difficult season.
Ben Gordon Key Contributor 31.8 High 18.6 3.1 3.0 0.9 64.26 Instant-offense guard thrived in a sixth-man role, stretching defenses with deep shooting and aggressive shot creation. Even without starting regularly, he finished as the club’s leading scorer and remained one of the league’s most dangerous bench weapons. 6th Man of the Year Voting (5th, 2008)
Drew Gooden Starter/Star 31.0 Medium 14.0 9.3 1.7 2.0 65.34 Physical interior scorer made a noticeable impact after arriving from Cleveland, giving Chicago needed rebounding and frontcourt production. His ability to score on the block and clean the glass showed up immediately in limited games.
Kirk Hinrich Starter/Star 31.7 Medium 11.5 3.3 6.0 1.5 53.72 Floor-general responsibilities stayed on his shoulders all season. Hinrich balanced playmaking with perimeter defense, often taking the toughest backcourt assignment while still directing the offense.
Larry Hughes Key Contributor 28.9 Medium 12.0 3.1 3.1 1.6 45.97 Slashing combo guard brought additional ball-handling after being acquired midseason. The shooting efficiency was uneven, but his defensive instincts and ability to create off the dribble filled a roster need.
Ben Wallace Starter/Star 32.5 Medium 5.1 8.8 1.8 3.0 45.50 Defensive specialist anchored the paint with rebounding, rim protection and physical interior defense. Although the scoring had largely disappeared, his impact was still felt through hustle plays and defensive possessions.
Andrés Nocioni Key Contributor 24.6 Medium 13.2 4.2 1.2 0.8 44.04 High-energy forward embraced a spark-plug role, mixing floor spacing with relentless effort. His physical style frequently changed the pace of games when Chicago’s second unit needed life. 6th Man of the Year Voting (18th, 2008)
Joe Smith Key Contributor 22.9 Medium 11.2 5.3 0.9 1.1 42.31 Veteran big man supplied reliable mid-range scoring and steady frontcourt minutes. Smith rarely dominated possessions but consistently filled gaps and helped stabilize the rotation.
Chris Duhon Key Contributor 22.6 Medium 5.8 1.8 4.0 0.7 28.41 Pass-first reserve guard focused on organizing the offense and keeping teammates involved. His assist production and low-maintenance style helped second units function despite limited scoring.
Joakim Noah Key Contributor 20.7 Medium 6.6 5.6 1.1 1.8 34.19 Energetic young center was already showing the traits that would later define his career. Noah chased rebounds, defended with intensity and brought constant activity even while his offensive game remained raw. NBA All-Rookie Second Team (2008)
Thabo Sefolosha Key Contributor 20.8 Low 6.7 3.7 1.9 1.3 28.14 Defense-first wing earned minutes through effort rather than scoring. His length on the perimeter and willingness to handle difficult assignments made him a useful rotational piece.
Tyrus Thomas Key Contributor 18.0 Low 6.8 4.6 1.2 1.6 29.82 Athletic forward flashed game-changing defensive tools, particularly as a shot blocker. Consistency remained a challenge, but his explosiveness regularly stood out on both ends.
Aaron Gray Bench 10.0 Low 4.3 2.8 0.7 0.6 16.80 Traditional backup center provided size and physicality around the basket. Most of his contributions came through screens, rebounding and interior presence.
Thomas Gardner Bench 11.3 Low 5.3 1.0 0.3 0.0 13.20 Scoring-oriented guard saw only brief NBA action, but his willingness to fire from the perimeter was evident during limited opportunities.
Adrian Griffin Bench 10.1 Low 2.3 1.7 1.0 0.5 11.00 Veteran role player focused almost entirely on defense, leadership and positional discipline. His experience helped support a relatively young roster.
Viktor Khryapa Bench 11.7 Low 3.6 2.2 0.9 0.7 14.80 Versatile forward contributed a little bit of everything when healthy, showing passing instincts and defensive awareness despite a limited role.
Demetris Nichols Bench 2.7 Low 1.2 0.4 0.1 0.3 4.00 Rookie wing appeared sparingly, functioning primarily as developmental depth while adjusting to the NBA level.
Shannon Brown Bench 3.7 Low 1.5 0.3 0.0 0.5 4.60 Athletic reserve guard spent most of the year outside the regular rotation, though his speed and leaping ability occasionally flashed in short appearances.
Cedric Simmons Bench 2.7 Low 0.6 0.4 0.0 0.0 2.00 End-of-bench big man saw very limited court time and was used primarily as emergency frontcourt depth.
TEAM TOTALS 241.5 97.3 43.0 22.1 12.9 614.28 Chicago finished 33-49 and missed the playoffs, with Luol Deng and Ben Gordon carrying much of the offensive burden while the franchise began integrating young pieces such as Joakim Noah and Tyrus Thomas into larger roles.
