Roster breakdown: Kyle Korver

Role for Bulls in 2010-'11: The dead-eye. Sure, Korver will be asked to play better defense and help in other areas, but he was brought in for one reason: To be the long-distance bomber the Bulls lacked last season. The 29-year-old is a 41-percent shooter from behind the arc over his career and is expected to get plenty of open looks playing alongside Derrick Rose. Korver shouldn't have any problem fitting in with his new team considering he will play alongside former Utah teammates Carlos Boozer and Ronnie Brewer. He is expected to backup Brewer on the wing.

Best-case scenario: Korver shoots the lights out and gets continuous open looks playing alongside Rose. Whenever the Bulls need a boost off the bench he provides one by knocking down a few jumpers and changing the momentum of the game. He improves defensively playing in Tom Thibodeau's system, and he becomes an important cog in the team's push down the stretch, hitting big shot after big shot.
Rose: "I want to be that guy. I want to be the reason why the Bulls are back to what they were [during the Michael Jordan era]."
