This was going to be Bobby P's season. Finally, he had a role, a position, a regular job after even a year before he was out of the rotation, almost out of the game after his preseason fight with teammate Nikola Mirotic. But Bobby persevered, accepted the consequences, remained reserved off the court and aggressive on the court, and it resulted in even a leadership role as captain of the reserves, career highs in scoring, rebounds and shooting. Portis was feeling so good he even decided to bet on himself by rejecting an eight figure Bulls contract extension offer before the season.
