By Nick Friedell (ESPN)Role for Bulls in 2010-‘11: Deng can become the silent assassin on Tom Thibodeau's team this season. The Duke product has the ability to go off for 25-30 points in any game, averaging 17.6 last season. With Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer manning the post, and Derrick Rose creating space off the dribble, Deng should be able to get open looks throughout the season.

Best-Case Scenario: Deng plays in all 82 games. He hasn't done that since the 2006-2007 season. He averages 20 points a game and becomes an even better defender under Thibodeau. Deng works on driving the ball to the hoop more and creating contact instead of usually shying away from it. He also extends his range just a couple more feet to start taking more three-pointers, thus freeing up more space for Rose. After taking just 49 three pointers over the past three years, Deng actually attempted 83 a season ago and connected at a 39 percent clip.
