| As he works his way back from a knee injury, Marquis Daniels also is preparing to play some point guard for the first time since he came to Indiana from Dallas, the Indianapolis Star reported. Jamaal Tinsley is still the starter at the position and Daniels is expected to play most of his time at shooting guard, but Jim O’Brien’s uptempo offense fits Daniels’ style and will allow him to back up Tinsley now that Darrell Armstrong and Keith McLeod are gone. |

| Rookie forward Joakim Noah will be rehabilitating the partially torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder all season. “I don’t think it will be 100 percent all year,” Noah told the Chicago Sun Times. “It’s just a question of repetition and doing rehab. I’m happy I didn’t have to get surgery.” |

| Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas allegedly took hundreds of shots per day this summer preparing for training camp, but coach Scott Skiles doubts he put in the work after seeing him in practice thus far. ''It would be nice if he can make perimeter shots, but he's got to be able to sustain effort first through a quarter, a game or even a practice, for that matter,” Skiles told the Chicago Sun-Times. ''He's in better shape than he was in camp at this point last year. He had a better summer than he had leading up to his rookie year, but not at the level of the other guys. He's still learning what it takes to be a great player.'' |
