The annual list NBA GM Survey has finally come out, and Bulls fans shouldn’t expect much from it either. However, Jimmy Butler headlined the list for the Chicago Bulls. Butler was tied with Kobe Bryant as the third toughest player behind Tony Allen and Draymond Green. Klay Thompson ranked second behind James Harden in best shooting guard, while Butler was thrown in the category of “other receiving votes”.
Rose drew no votes for fastest with ball (Wall). Butler ties Kobe for 3rd-toughest player (Tony Allen, Draymond Green).

Pau Gasol was ranked second in best international player behind his brother Marc Gasol. After having a strong season with the Bulls that led to an Allstar spot, Gasol is hoping to continue his strong play despite his old age.
Bobby Portis has put on a clinic in the preseason which earned him a spot in second place for the biggest steal in the draft. He ranked behind Justice Winslow of the Miami Heat.
Derrick Rose was left off the voting as he drew zero votes as the fastest player with the ball. John Wall took the cake for that category.
