Corey Benjamin is hardly on a non-guaranteed/try out contract. he was a first 
round pick by the Bulls in the 1998 draft so his contract is guaranteed this 
year. The Bulls have until oct. 31st to exercise their option on him for 
Years 4 and 5.  Even if they cut him, they are on the hook for his salary 
this year.

He's 6' 6" and very athletic. His perimeter game leaves a lot to be desired, 
though. With Chris Carr already on the C's roster and a similar type of game 
and with a guaranteed contract, Corey wouldn't find any minutes.
