Bulls' Taj Gibson: Claims third double-double

Gibson submitted 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes in Monday's 112-80 win over the Magic.

Analysis:

Nikola Mirotic has had a few good moments off the bench in the early stages of the regular season, but Gibson has outproduced him, as was the case throughout the preseason. Though he's on the wrong end of the aging curve at 31 years old, Gibson hasn't done anything to put himself at jeopardy of losing playing time, nor the Bulls' starting power-forward role. He's already picked up three double-doubles and is averaging 12.1 points (on 53.4% shooting from the field) and a career-high 9.4 boards in 26.6 minutes per game.
