Keith Bogans will be the starting shooting guard for the Bulls to begin the 2010-11 season.

Bogans beat out Ronnie Brewer, who suffered a hamstring injury during the preseason.

"He's just been solid," coach Tom Thibodeau said.

"He's done all the things we expected of him. He's a very good defensive player, spreads the floor so he can shoot the 3. He's a tough competitor. He's earned it."

Bogans started 59 games for the Spurs last season. He was signed as a free agent to provide leadership, defense and 3-point shooting.
