Noah running with Bulls’ starting five

"I don't think it will be 100 percent all year"

And now, the first unit for the first drill in the first practice of the Bulls' 2007-08 season: Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Ben Wallace and -- drum roll please -- Joakim Noah.

For Joe Smith and Tyrus Thomas fans, coach Scott Skiles used one word to summarize the significance: 'Zero.'

  1. Noah will not start at any rate. I see him playing decent minutes as a backup for Ben Wallace this year. Over the next 2 or 3 years, he will eventually take over more of Wallace’s minutes and become a starter.

  2. For Noah it must be a dream come true . It may take a few months to get used to what is going on but in time he will have to show some moves .

  3. The Bulls are looking good and they could win the cup this year .Noah has to keep the jumpers going all year to help the Bulls reach the final.
