Golden Bulls: The Top 25 Greatest Chicago Bulls of All Time | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

At least one player on this list has to represent the lowest point in the history of the Chicago Bulls organization. 

That's right, the several years post-Jordan.

Unfortunately, the team was in such disarray that no decent players stayed long enough to make a lasting impact on the organization.

Elton Brand and Ron Artest were poised to form a young core for the young Bulls, but of course they were shipped away and became All-Stars elsewhere.

Still, in his two seasons with the Bulls, Brand was the definition of a 20-10 player, literally averaging those numbers exactly in his stint with Chicago. That combination still remains elusive for the Bulls, though the organization hopes it found another great power forward in Carlos Boozer.

Brand was named Rookie of the Year in 2000 and of course made the All-Rookie First Team. With 10 rebounds a contest, he also ranked among the league leaders in total rebounds and offensive rebounds immediately upon entering the Association.

Of course, Brand was dealt to the Clippers for Tyson Chandler, who would team with Eddy Curry to form the Baby Bulls. Whoops.

As for Artest, he consistently averaged in double figures while playing for the Bulls, while also averaging more than four rebounds and about three assists.

He also started making a name for himself on the defensive end. In 2001-2002, he averaged a staggering 2.6 steals per game, which was second in the league. In 2000-2001 he stole the ball twice per game and ranked seventh in the NBA.

While Brand made the All-Rookie First Team, Artest was on the Second Team.

These two players could have been the cornerstone of the franchise, but the team elected to part ways with the All-Stars. It took several more years before the Bulls even earned a playoff berth.
