The 1988-89 NBA Champion Chicago Bulls
The Rotation
The guys who mop up have been discussed…here are the guys who steady the ship when the starters are sitting.
Sheldon Maurer, PF
How Acquired: 1st Round Pick, 1987 (#23 overall)
Maurer was very efficient in his second year, and has become a useful player to the Bulls. He averaged just 12.3 minutes a game, but scored 7.6 ppg in that time. He also averaged 2.9 rebounds. He is not a skilled passer, but he is an effective ballhandler. Defense is not his strong suit, which will limit his time. Still, when valuable minutes were needed down the stretch in the post, the team turned to him often.

Felicien Delahaye, PG
How Acquired: Signed 7.26.88 (1 yr, 97k)
Bye Felicien is another second-round pick who managed to siphon money from teams…since 1979. The former Missouri walk-on (he was the 29th-ranked prospect in the country, though) was originally drafted by the Lakers, only to be waived thereafter. He eventually signed with Houston a year later, only to be waived again. New Jersey signed him, then waived him. Indiana signed him in 1982…then waived him. Finally, he latched on with Seattle, and played in 81 games. He averaged just 3.3 points a game.
Seattle resigned him, then waived him a month later. In 1985, he hooked onto the Nets again, but failed to play. He went back to the Lakers, then to the Knicks, and wound up in Chicago. He ended up being a surprisingly useful member of the team; he averaged a career-high 14.5 mpg, resulting in 5.8 ppg, 1.1 rpg, and 1.9 apg. He was good enough to get the time, and frustrate Jesus.
