Noah 'A Very Effective Offensive Player'
The biggest concern for the Chicago Bulls heading into the All-Star break will be tightening up their team defense. Joakim Noah's return from a hand injury should help that defense as well as the offense.
"As far as the offensive struggles, this is one area where it sounds crazy but Joakim Noah's can help them," K.C. Johnson, of the Chicago Tribune, said on the Mully and Hanley Show.

Noah isn't a dominant offensive player, his biggest contributions to the Bulls come from his hustle and energy. But it's clear that the Bulls have been missing something on offense, and Noah capable enough at various offensive areas to help improve the Bulls.
"I mean he offers a very very large target for anytime Derrick [Rose] faces withering double teams," Johnson said." He's very adept at going to the top of the circle, receiving a pass, putting it on the floor once of twice if he needs to [and] he's an excellent passer for a big man. So while he's not an accomplished or gifted or elite scorer, he's actually a very effective offensive player."
