Thaddeus Young, a long-time NBA veteran forward, played for the Chicago Bulls for two seasons, from 2019 to 2021. During his time in Chicago, he was highly valued as a high-IQ, versatile "glue guy," primarily coming off the bench. While his first season with the Bulls was a transitional one, his second season (2020-21) was particularly strong, showcasing his skills as a smart interior scorer, an excellent and willing passer from the post, and a solid defender. Young's veteran leadership and consistent hustle were key contributions to the team, and he was even the winner of the NBA's Hustle Award in 2021 before being traded to the San Antonio Spurs in the sign-and-trade for DeMar DeRozan.
