At the midway point of the 2014 preseason Bulls fans have witnessed a bit of ups, a bit of downs, but mostly ups if you’re looking at the right things.

Derrick Rose seems to have barely lost a step and his shot has improved greatly compared to the sample received from his involvement with Team USA this past summer. Most importantly though, he is playing smart.

It’s no secret the Bulls will go only as far as their much maligned leader can take them.

There are other positives to draw as well. Here, Sports Mockery will rank the Chicago Bulls’ regular rotation players in terms of preseason performance thus far.

11. Tony Snell- 6.42 PER

Snellycat had a phenomenal summer league campaign, however his preseason showing thus far has proven those results must always be taken with a grain of salt.

He doesn’t rank in the top five of any statistical category (advanced or per game averages) for the Bulls and still doesn’t seem to have found his place in Tom Thibodeau’s demanding system.

To expound on that point, Snell was supposed to be a three-point threat off the bench this season. His percentage through four games is .167.

His averages: MPG 12.2, FG% .357, PPG 3.5, APG 0.5, RPG 2.25
