There have been some pretty good No. 5s in Bulls history, except for the last one.
Bobby Portis will wear the jersey number last worn by Carlos Boozer.

Some fab “fives” in Bulls history: Guy Rodgers, Flynn Robinson, John Paxson, Andres Nocioni and original “Fab Fiver” Rose.
Still, Bulls fans are a little worried about the Boozer effect:
They gave Bobby Portis number 5. I hope he will be better than the last guy who wore that number.

Bobby Portis is going to wear #5. Too soon?

They should be more worried about these other No. 5s: Leon Benbow, Rusty LaRue and Ron Mercer.
