With Kirk Hinrich coming back, we were curious to speculate on where these players could end up with one more season down. Along with just 2012-13, how close are these active guys to moving up on the main all-time team leader boards. Keep reading to find out more.
Kirk Hinrich is the only active player to lead any one of the franchises all-time stat categories. Three-pointers made and Three-pointers attempted. At 31 years of age and a two-year contract, he could hold those records for some time.
But what about any other records? Seeing they are dominated by a man whose name rhymes with Schmordan, it’s likely that he wont touch any of those, or any other Bulls player, anytime soon.
All lists are the top 10 all-time leaders in order, then any close active players are listed in addition. Some other players were thrown in for pure comparison.
Games played: It would take Luol Deng 5 seasons to beat out Jordan in a perfect world. Jordan holds the team record with 930 games played. Luol has 539 to his name, being the closest Bull to his airness. Unfortunately, Luol is still playing with a torn ligament in his hand, and has an injury track record.

Players in Bold are active and on the roster, and players in Italics are active but on another team.
Minutes Played and Minutes Per Game: Luol will be close, to getting up to the 4th spot on this list within the season. Fifth is only a matter of 3 minutes, to pass up Mr. 48 minutes of intensity himself, Norm Van Lier.
