legit post scorers in gibson and gasol, all of their bigs can pass, they've got like 5 or 6 guys who can shoot the 3, rose and butler are each gonna give them 6 or 8 easy ppg apiece in transition, they get to the free throw line.

they've got all the makings of a true, sustainable top 10 offense.

i put this in the season post earlier (from Z-LO DA GAWD's latest column)

10 Things I Like and Don’t Like

1. Chicago’s New Choices

Chicago is eighth in points per possession, and it was much higher before laying an egg against the Pacers over the weekend. A Bulls team with a top-10 offense should frighten the rest of the league.

Pau Gasol isn’t a dominant scorer anymore, but he’s a legit low-post option who defenses must respect, and his passing and post scoring open up new options for a polished Bulls attack. Behold this masterpiece against Toronto:

Holy crap. Look at everything that happens here: a cross screen for Gasol that is a newly dangerous action; a quick “zipper” pick-and-roll for Jimmy Butler, playing out of his mind so far; a scripted action from Gasol, called “shorting,” in which the big man not involved in the pick-and-roll zooms up the lane, catches a pass from the ball handler, and kicks to the shooter open on the weak side. Derrick Rose finishes the job with a corner 3.

That kind of versatility was just not available to any prior Rose-era Chicago team.
