The all-bench Bulls unit has been floundering (and used a lot)

At 3-1, and that loss being just a shot away, the Bulls have had a pretty successful start to the season under new coach Fred Hoiberg. I wouldn't say they've subjectively played all that great, but the results have been positive.

One thing that hasn't worked so far though is the all-bench lineup, something Nate Duncan has referred to a 'Hoibergo' lineup as it seemingly is being rolled out there by an impostor. Brooks/Moore/McDermott/Gibson/Noah has a -9 raw plus-minus and a -17.5 pace-adjusted net rating. You can see the offensive struggles devolve into Aaron Brooks just trying to pull out highly-difficult attempts.
