#5: Jimmy Butler
Butler arrived in Chicago as the final pick in the first round of the 2011 draft and quickly turned himself into one of the most competitive and valuable cogs in a team’s system. After averaging just 2.6 points as a rookie, Butler eventually rose to make three All-Star squads and three All-Defensive Second Teams teams as a Bull, as well as win the 2015 Most Improved Player award. His career year in Chicago came in 2016-17, his final with the organization, during which he posted a line of 23.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.5 assists, though he was eliminated in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs by the number-one seed Boston Celtics.
