5 PICKS

Chicago Bulls

Home of the 1990s dynasty and the greatest peak in league history — six titles behind Jordan and Pippen.

The Bulls pool is defined by the 1990s, and by the two players who delivered six championships in eight years: Michael Jordan, the most complete scorer the game has produced, and Scottie Pippen, the prototype two-way wing. Their dynasty is the most top-heavy marquee pool in 5 Picks — when the draw lands you in Chicago, the move is almost always to grab the stars and grab them early.

After the headliners the drop-off is real, so the skill in drafting the Bulls is rounding out the supporting positions without wasting a pick reaching for a third star. The defense and shot creation Jordan and Pippen provide give you enormous room to build a balanced lineup around them — but only if you respect the depth chart and fill the gaps.
