HeatingUp Impact Index: Regular Season Team Impact Spotlight

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Jimmy Butler Starter/Star 38.7 High 20.0 5.8 3.3 2.4 82.90 As Chicago’s primary wing creator, Butler made the leap from high-level complementary piece to offensive focal point. He attacked the rim relentlessly, drew fouls at an elite rate and still carried major defensive responsibilities while capturing the league’s Most Improved Player award. Most Improved Player (2015), All-Star (2015), All-Defensive Second Team (2015), 10th in Defensive Player of the Year voting (2015)
Pau Gasol Starter/Star 34.4 High 18.5 11.8 2.7 2.2 92.14 Working as a skilled scoring big and interior anchor, Gasol immediately transformed Chicago’s frontcourt. His combination of post scoring, rebounding and rim protection produced one of the best all-around seasons of his career, highlighted by 54 double-doubles. All-Star (2015), All-NBA Second Team (2015)
Derrick Rose Starter/Star 30.0 High 17.7 3.2 4.9 1.0 70.75 An aggressive downhill guard despite ongoing injury setbacks, Rose remained central to the Bulls’ shot creation. His burst wasn’t fully back, but he still bent defenses with dribble penetration and late-clock scoring responsibilities.
Joakim Noah Starter/Star 30.6 Medium 7.2 9.6 4.7 1.8 56.63 Functioning as a defensive quarterback and passing hub, Noah impacted games well beyond the box score. Even while battling health issues, he orchestrated offense from the elbows and anchored Chicago’s team defense with his communication and positioning. 12th in Defensive Player of the Year voting (2015)
Taj Gibson Key Contributor 27.3 Medium 10.3 6.4 1.1 1.8 45.70 Bringing energy and physicality off the bench, Gibson remained one of the league’s more dependable reserve bigs. His finishing around the basket and interior defense gave Chicago stability whenever the second unit entered. 10th in Sixth Man of the Year voting (2015)
Aaron Brooks Key Contributor 23.0 Medium 11.6 2.0 3.2 0.9 40.89 Instant offense defined Brooks’ season. He pushed tempo, hunted pull-up jumpers and provided much-needed scoring punch behind Rose, appearing in all 82 games. 11th in Sixth Man of the Year voting (2015)
Nikola Mirotić Key Contributor 20.2 Medium 10.2 4.9 1.2 1.4 40.19 As a rookie stretch forward, Mirotić changed the geometry of the floor with his shooting range. His confidence from deep and ability to draw fouls hinted at a larger offensive role in future seasons. 2nd in Rookie of the Year voting (2015), 6th in Sixth Man of the Year voting (2015)
Mike Dunleavy Starter/Star 29.2 Medium 9.4 3.9 1.8 0.9 38.72 Operating as a low-maintenance starting wing, Dunleavy spaced the floor efficiently and rarely forced offense. His 40.7% three-point shooting fit perfectly alongside Chicago’s higher-usage stars.
Kirk Hinrich Key Contributor 24.4 Low 5.7 1.8 2.2 0.9 22.68 A veteran connector rather than a volume producer, Hinrich filled gaps across the backcourt. His defensive awareness and ball security helped steady lineups dealing with injuries throughout the year.
Tony Snell Key Contributor 19.6 Low 6.0 2.4 0.9 0.6 20.79 Snell settled into a complementary three-and-D role, taking on perimeter assignments while spacing the floor. His value came more from defensive versatility than traditional counting stats.
E’Twaun Moore Bench 9.0 Low 2.7 0.8 0.6 0.5 9.20 Used mostly in spot minutes, Moore provided efficient guard depth and showed flashes of the reliable two-way play that would later earn him a larger NBA role.
Doug McDermott Bench 8.9 Low 3.0 1.2 0.2 0.1 9.00 Primarily deployed as a movement shooter, McDermott’s rookie season was interrupted by injuries. Even so, his off-ball instincts and floor spacing remained evident in limited action.
Nazr Mohammed Bench 5.6 Low 1.2 1.7 0.1 0.4 6.80 Serving as an experienced reserve center, Mohammed was mainly a locker-room presence and emergency frontcourt option during his final NBA season.
Cameron Bairstow Bench 3.6 Low 0.6 0.4 0.1 0.2 2.60 Bairstow spent most of the year outside the regular rotation, appearing in brief stretches where Chicago needed additional frontcourt depth.
TEAM TOTALS 242.4 100.8 45.7 21.7 12.1 539.99 Chicago won 50 games and finished near the top of the Eastern Conference behind a veteran core led by Butler, Gasol, Noah and Rose.

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK (SPG + BPG) IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Jimmy Butler Starter/Star 42.2 High 22.9 5.6 3.2 3.2 92.14 As Chicago’s primary two-way star, Butler carried a massive playoff burden on both ends. He scored 22.9 points per game while defending elite perimeter threats, and his relentless pressure at the point of attack helped push the Bulls within one win of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Derrick Rose Starter/Star 37.8 High 20.3 4.8 6.5 1.7 87.38 Operating as the lead ball-handler, Rose looked closer to his pre-injury self during stretches of the postseason. He attacked gaps aggressively, created offense for teammates and delivered several clutch performances, including a memorable game-winning three against Cleveland.
Pau Gasol Starter/Star 31.7 High 14.4 9.4 3.1 2.6 77.35 Functioning as a skilled interior hub, Gasol gave Chicago efficient scoring, rebounding and rim protection whenever healthy. A hamstring injury limited his availability late in the Cleveland series, but his all-around impact remained evident.
Joakim Noah Starter/Star 32.9 Medium 5.8 11.0 3.2 2.0 53.97 Playing the role of defensive organizer and connective passer, Noah controlled possessions with hustle plays and elite positioning. His rebounding and communication anchored a Bulls defense that consistently battled one of the East’s top offenses.
Mike Dunleavy Starter/Star 32.4 Medium 10.9 4.0 2.6 1.2 45.50 A floor-spacing wing who rarely forced action, Dunleavy quietly became one of Chicago’s steadiest playoff contributors. His 48.2% three-point shooting punished defensive help and opened driving lanes for Butler and Rose.
Taj Gibson Key Contributor 23.0 Medium 7.4 5.5 1.0 1.3 35.11 Bringing energy off the bench, Gibson supplied physical interior defense and timely rebounding. His willingness to battle bigger frontcourts gave Chicago useful flexibility throughout the postseason rotation.
Nikola Mirotić Key Contributor 14.9 Medium 5.7 2.7 0.8 1.0 23.56 Used mainly as a stretch-four option, Mirotić struggled to find consistent rhythm offensively. Even so, opponents respected his shooting range, which helped maintain spacing in reserve-heavy lineups.
Aaron Brooks Bench 11.0 Low 4.5 1.5 0.9 0.4 14.60 Brooks served as an instant-offense reserve, though his playoff role fluctuated from game to game. Most of his value came from shot creation when the second unit needed a spark.
Tony Snell Bench 12.7 Low 3.9 1.5 0.5 0.3 12.40 Snell’s minutes were built around defensive assignments and floor spacing rather than volume scoring. He provided length on the wing and helped preserve lineup balance in short stretches.
Kirk Hinrich Bench 12.6 Low 2.6 0.5 1.1 0.4 9.20 A veteran depth guard at this stage of his career, Hinrich was relied upon for defensive discipline and ball security more than offensive production.
E’Twaun Moore Bench 3.0 Low 1.7 1.0 0.0 0.7 6.80 In very limited appearances, Moore provided active perimeter defense and knocked down a few timely shots when called upon.
Doug McDermott Bench 3.3 Low 1.7 0.7 0.3 0.0 5.40 McDermott’s playoff opportunities were brief, but his movement shooting still gave Chicago a specialist option when additional spacing was needed.
Nazr Mohammed Bench 4.7 Low 1.3 1.7 0.0 0.3 6.60 The veteran center appeared sparingly, mainly serving as emergency frontcourt depth and a stabilizing locker-room presence during the playoff run.
TEAM TOTALS 244.2 96.0 45.4 22.2 13.8 469.01 Chicago advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals and pushed Cleveland to six games. The Bulls leaned heavily on Butler’s two-way play and Rose’s shot creation, but injuries and late-game execution issues ultimately ended a promising postseason run.
