The Bulls have been confident in Omer Asik ever since they acquired the center on draft night of 2008.

In the last two games, Omer Asik has averaged 9 points and 9 rebounds in limited minutes.

?He's hungry to become a big-time player in this league," teammate Joakim Noah said of Asik. ?As long as he stays humble and hungry and driven, I think it's going to get a little scary when he's right."
