The Chicago Bulls were one of the most dominant teams in the Eastern Conference last season. However, their dismal performances in the playoffs did not provide enough justice to the season they were having. It seems the bad news for the Bulls fanbase just keeps on coming. Lonzo Ball, one of the key players for the franchise last season is a major doubt for the 2022-23 season. Lonzo Ball [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-10-06T011614Z_2036678745_MT1USATODAY16897638_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PRESEASON-CLEVELAND-CAVALIERS-AT-CHICAGO-BULLS.jpg]Oct 5, 2021; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (2) brings the ball up court against the Cleveland Cavaliers during the first half of a preseason NBA game at United Center.

Although he showed signs of stepping onto the field for the Bulls, it seems his chances are all but over now.

Led by DeMar DeRozan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/demar-derozan/], the Chicago Bulls [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/chicago-bulls/] were a force to reckon with in the Eastern Conference. His performances were complemented by Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic, and also Lonzo Ball. Ball averaged 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists. However, he played just 35 games last season after the Bulls brought him in from the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: ESPN [https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/chi/chicago-bulls]) DeRozan was the leader both on and off the court for the Bulls last season. He averaged 27.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 76 games! Despite their good performance in the regular season, their inability to perform in the playoffs overshadowed almost all their achievements of last season.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>DeMar DeRozan 2021: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</strong></h2>
DeMar DeRozan is the superstar small forward for the Chicago Bulls. In an era where three-point shooting has become a must in the league, DeRozan has found a way to dominate the game without having an effective jump shot, making him one of the most unique players in the league right now.

Playing for the USC Trojans in the 2008-09 season, DeRozan had a slow start to his collegiate career. But eventually the 6'7" forward gained confidence and started putting up great numbers. By the end of the season, DeRozan was one of the top performers for the teams as he <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/southern-california/2009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 13.9 points, 1.5 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game.

[caption id="attachment_815967" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-815967" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-10-06T013313Z_809955587_MT1USATODAY16897693_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PRESEASON-CLEVELAND-CAVALIERS-AT-CHICAGO-BULLS-1.jpg" alt="DeMar DeRozan" width="1920" height="1280" /> Oct 5, 2021; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (11) brings the ball up court against the Cleveland Cavaliers during the first half of a preseason NBA game at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Given his stats and his late step up in his only collegiate season, draft stock was high for the 20-year-old. Coming up alongside the likes of Stephen Curry and James Harden, DeRozan's draft class was stacked, to say the least.

The 20-year-old ended up becoming the 9th lottery pick and was picked up by the Toronto Raptors.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the Toronto Raptors</h2>
While DeRozan was a lottery pick for the Raptors, unlike his peers, his playtime was limited. Playing off of the bench, DeRozan became a decent rotational player chipping in with averages of 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game in 21 minutes of playtime.

But the departure of superstar Chris Bosh was certainly the biggest game changer for DeRozan and the Raptors organisation. Losing their star, the Raptors found themselves in a rebuilding phase. With a pick like DeRozan in their hands, the franchise took the chance on the sophomore and made him a starter.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-124203" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/486173711-demar-derozan-and-kyle-lowry-of-the-toronto-raptors.jpg.CROP_.promo-xlarge2.jpg" alt="" width="1180" height="842" />

The forward's quality certainly showed up, as his statistics saw a massive jump. <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01/gamelog/2011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Averaging</a> 17.2 points, 1.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game, his stats nearly doubled, and the franchise knew they had a star in hand.

Over the next few years, the team brought in a second star in Kyle Lowry. Like DeRozan, Lowry started off with middling stats but eventually gained confidence and saw a jump in his numbers as well. With the duo DeRozan and Lowry about to hit their peak, the Raptors became a contender in the East yet again.

DeRozan certainly was the star man of the show, averaging more than 20  points per game for four seasons in a row and leading the team to multiple top three finishes in the regular season. But this success did not translate in the post-season.

With their championship window dwindling, the Raptors made a drastic and polarizing decision as they traded off DeRozan to the Spurs and brought in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kawhi-leonard/">Kawhi Leonard</a> instead.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the San Antonio Spurs</h2>
After being traded away from Toronto, DeRozan certainly wasn't impressed with a move to away from the Raptors. But an opportunity to play under the guidance of Gregg Popovich was an enticing prospect nonetheless.

Initially, DeRozan continued to put up his usual stats with the Spurs and even led them to appearances in the playoffs. But his game did change quite a lot with the Spurs, eventually.

[caption id="attachment_568357" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-568357" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301120640/2021-02-28T021606Z_633818399_MT1USATODAY15643786_RTRMADP_3_NBA-NEW-ORLEANS-PELICANS-AT-SAN-ANTONIO-SPURS.jpg" alt="San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan" width="1920" height="1280" /> Feb 27, 2021; San Antonio, Texas, USA; San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (10) dribbles in against New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Bledsoe (5) in the first half at the AT&amp;T Center.

While the mid-range continued to be his primary weapon to score the ball, his passing certainly was much better now as he had career highs in his playmaking numbers. But the Spurs were also moving to a new era and did not want to retain DeRozan in the 2021 off-season. This meant that a new destination awaited the 32-year-old.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the Chicago Bulls</h2>
In the 2021 free agency, DeRozan was one of the biggest names alongside his longtime friend Kyle Lowry. Being linked to moves to contenders like Los Angeles Lakers, DeRozan even admitted that he would love to play for LA.

But with Lakers making a swing for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/russell-westbrook/">Russell Westbrook</a>, that chapter was closed. While he could have signed for a lesser role with other contenders, DeRozan knew he had a lot left in the tank and signed on with the Chicago Bulls.

Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

The Bulls who have transformed their team have been formidable so far this season. In the 11 games they played, they have simply been unstoppable winning 8 games and all of them have been in dominant fashion. With a much more balanced team around him, DeRozan has flourished and has established himself as the <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/2022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lead scorer</a> for the team. If the Bulls can carry on this momentum, they might turn out to be a dark horse contender in the near future.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Major Achievements</h2>

<p style="text-align: center">2x All-NBA (2017, 2018)</p>
<p style="text-align: center">1x Olympic Champion (2016)</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan stats</h2>
In the 13 seasons and 892 games he has played, DeRozan has been one of the stars of the league and has <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 20.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

Currently with the Bulls, DeRozan has been on a tear. In the 11 games he has played so far, the 32-year-old has led the Bulls in scoring averaging  26.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan contract</h2>
After serving out his five-year contract for worth $139 million, DeMar was a free agent in the 2021 free agency. The Bulls certainly were interested in the forward.

Ahead of 2021-22 season, DeRozan signed a very lucrative 3-year <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/chicago-bulls/demar-derozan-6327/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contract</a> worth $81 million. In the current season, the 32-year-old is set to earn around $26 million.

Although the deal was considered a costly one, given DeRozan's current form, it seems like a steal. If the veteran continues to perform at such a high level, an extension might be a viable option next season.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan's net worth</h2>
According to <a href="https://wealthygorilla.com/demar-derozan-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wealthy Gorilla</a>, DeMar DeRozan has an estimated net worth of $23 million.

<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan endorsements</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/demar-derozan/?sh=2901875f24b6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a>, DeRozan is among the 100-best paid athletes in the world. While in-game earnings make up the majority of his earnings, he does have endorsements from some big names in the industry.

With endorsements with brands like Nike, Spalding, Gatorade, Klipsch DeRozan earns about $4 million alone.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan charity</h2>
DeMar DeRozan was one of the most active members in the Toronto community while he was a Raptor.

Over his career, Antetokounmpo has been an NBA All-Star seven times. Giannis also won two successive MVP trophies in 2019 and 2020 to solidify his status as a star in the league.

In the 2023-24 season, he is continuing his top form, with the Bucks now a force to be reckoned with in the East.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Who is Giannis Antetokounmpo? Giannis Antetokounmpo or the &#8220;Greek Freak&#8221; is one of those names that have spurred the NBA circuit in recent times. Born in Greece to Nigerian parents, Antetokounmpo began playing basketball for the youth teams of Filathlitikos, eventually playing for their senior team. Following this, the power forward declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft in 2013, where Antetokounmpo was drafted with the 15th overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks, a team he has been playing for since then. He wears the No. 34 jersey. Jan 3, 2024; Indianapolis, Indiana, USA; Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) in the second half against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

<b>Lonzo Ball 2021: Net worth, salary &amp; endorsements</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Lonzo Ball was born in Anaheim, California, on October 27, 1997. He attended the Chino Hills High School in California, where he won several accolades as a basketball player. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Ball graduated from high-school and was ranked as the #1 point guard in the 2016 class. He attended college at UCLA and represented the Bruins for one year. In his freshman season, Ball was named as a consensus first-team All American. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2017, the Los Angeles Lakers drafted him with the second overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft. He was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in 2018, even though his rookie season was plagued with shoulder and knee injuries. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400"> After the 2018/19 season, he was traded to New Orleans Pelicans in a mega-deal that involved bringing Anthony Davis to the Lakers. In the next two seasons, Ball certainly showed glimpses of why he was the third overall pick in the 2017 draft as he became an incredible playmaker and improved his jump shot significantly.</span>

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-184851" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Lonzo-Ball.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" />

While Ball has developed into a great point guard, the Pelicans certainly couldn't keep hold of their star guard. In the off-season, the Chicago Bulls splashed the cash and added the 23-year-old.

Set to play alongside the likes of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, Ball and the Bulls will hope that they can make a solid push to make it to the playoffs.

This off-season, Ball signed a massive four-year <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/chicago-bulls/lonzo-ball-23597/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contract</a> of worth a whooping $80 million. The Bulls will certainly hope that Lonzo can pay off such a massive contract.
<h3><b>Lonzo Ball NBA Career Stats</b></h3>
For the 2020-21 season, Ball averaged 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game.

In the 217 games he has played so far, the 23-year-old has averaged 11.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game.
<h3><b>Lonzo Ball shoes</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In college, Ball sported </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Adidas</span> <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/james-harden/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Harden</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> Vol. 1. His father, LaVar Ball, had released a shoe collection under his Big Baller Brand, and released the signature ZO2 Prime shoe, which Lonzo planned to wear once he joined the NBA. However, design flaws with the shoe meant that he did not sport those shoes. The shoe was replaced by the ZO2 Prime Remix. Ball now wears the Nike Kobe AD Exodus and other Kobe signature shoes, playing as a Pelican. </span>

Lonzo Ball

Lonzo Ball 2021: Net worth, salary &amp; endorsements Lonzo Ball was born in Anaheim, California, on October 27, 1997. He attended the Chino Hills High School in California, where he won several accolades as a basketball player.  Ball graduated from high-school and was ranked as the #1 point guard in the 2016 class. He attended college at UCLA and represented the Bruins for one year. In his freshman season, Ball was named as a consensus first-team All American.  Jan 8, 2021; New Orleans, Louisiana, USA; New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (2) brings the ball up court against Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (2) during the third quarter at Smoothie King Center. Mandatory Credit: Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports In 2017, the Los Angeles Lakers drafted him with the second overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft. He was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in 2018, even though his rookie season was plagued with shoulder and knee injuries.  After the 2018/19 season, he was traded to New Orleans Pelicans in a mega-deal that involved bringing Anthony Davis to the Lakers. In the next two seasons, Ball certainly showed glimpses of why he was the third overall pick in the 2017 draft as he became an incredible playmaker and improved his jump shot significantly. While Ball has developed into a great point guard, the Pelicans certainly couldn&#8217;t keep hold of their star guard. In the off-season, the Chicago Bulls splashed the cash and added the 23-year-old. Set to play alongside the likes of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, Ball and the Bulls will hope that they can make a solid push to make it to the playoffs.

Lonzo Ball contact details In July 2017, Lonzo signed a four-year $33 million deal with the Lakers, which will pay him an average of $8 million per year. While Ball became a restricted free agent in the 2021 off-season, he was up for a massive pay day due to the progress he had made in the last two seasons.

Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports This off-season, Ball signed a massive four-year contract of worth a whooping $80 million. The Bulls will certainly hope that Lonzo can pay off such a massive contract. Lonzo Ball NBA Career Stats For the 2020-21 season, Ball averaged 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game. In the 217 games he has played so far, the 23-year-old has averaged 11.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game. Lonzo Ball shoes In college, Ball sported Adidas Harden Vol. 1. His father, LaVar Ball, had released a shoe collection under his Big Baller Brand, and released the signature ZO2 Prime shoe, which Lonzo planned to wear once he joined the NBA. However, design flaws with the shoe meant that he did not sport those shoes. The shoe was replaced by the ZO2 Prime Remix. Ball now wears the Nike Kobe AD Exodus and other Kobe signature shoes, playing as a Pelican.   Age 23  Team Chicago Bulls  Marital Status Unmarried  Nationality American  Height 6′ 6″ (1.98 m)  Weight 190 lb  Wingspan 2.04 m  How to contact Lonzo Ball?
