2 roto titles · 60 seasons (1966-67–2025-26)
Twice in 60 seasons, the Chicago Bulls have finished a season as Roto Champ, the last of them in 1996-97. They came back to back, from 1995-96 to 1996-97, a single roster’s peak rather than sustained success. Their average finish is 14.5 all time, against 17.4 over the last ten seasons, a step down from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Michael Jordan in 1987-88, worth a 20.0 z-score. He owns 11 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Worth knowing before you read the All-Franchise Team below: Toni Kukoc rates above a player who made it, and missed only because the forward slots were full.
