Cameron Bairstow

Unfortunately for Bairstow, the Bulls are deep, especially in the frontcourt. The rookie out of New Mexico will be fighting for playing time behind All-Stars and vets who have a firm grasp on their minutes. At 6-10 and 255 pounds, Bairstow is a tough, physical player who will certainly impress coach Tom Thibodeau with his effort, if nothing else. In his senior season, he averaged 20.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 33 minutes per game. Bairstow has a diverse offensive repertoire, with the ability to post-up or threaten opponents with a reliable mid-range jumper. There are concerns with his footwork and ability to defend at the NBA level, but reports out of the summer league have been positive for the big man. The true challenge for Bairstow will be cracking the rotation, which means he'll have to convince the ever-insatiable Thibodeau to trust him.
