The Chicago Bulls had 2 top-10 picks in the 2004 NBA draft and ended up with Luol Deng as one of the them. Deng was drafted seventh by the Phoenix Suns but was traded as the Bulls had an agreement with them and Deng developed into one of the strongest players for them in recent history.

Deng is a two-time All-Star, a NBA defensive second team of the year nominee and though he has not won a championship with the Bulls, he has been great for them. He was a part of the All NBA rookie team in his first season and became a really strong scorer.

Deng led the team to six playoff runs and averaged a solid 15 points per game along with 6.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists a game too. His tenure with the Bulls ended abruptly when they traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014 and since then it has not gone well for him.

He is currently playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves but barely gets any minutes. He still was a great player for the Bulls and takes the 4th spot for them.
