none of the above. The answer is Felton
Also, some of those comeback player haven't come back yet so, I'm not sure what impact they could have had.
Rose isn't back unless I've lost my mind so he hasn't contributed anything yet. Is Granger back? I thought he was still on the shelf but,I haven't been paying Indy any attention so I wouldn't know for sure.
Rose coming back is going to be huge for the Bulls. He won't be the same player pre-injury for at least another season but when you look at what the Bulls are doing with it him it's scary. This kid at 75% is still one of the best PG's in the league. The Bulls are the one team I don't want to see come playoff time.

agreed, they are a scary team.
Amare. He looks good. Don't know how good the other 2 are going to be this year
Rose is coming back from ACL, so don't think he'll be himself this year. Granger has the dreaded patellar tendinosis or "jumpers knee", so I don't know how much of an impact he'll have this season as well.
Out of the 3, gotta go Amare 2.0, as he's the offensive anchor of the 2nd unit, and allows JR to do what he do. When Woody deploys "The Big 3" lineup with Melo, Stat, and Chandler, it's been nothing but positive so far.

I love seeing Rose play but, he might want to change his game a big and tone down the dunking. So many of the high flyers wind up with either bad backs or tore up knees. Being a point guard doesn't help since they likely do more cutting and quick change of directions than any other position. The strain on the knees will likely always exist for such players but, the high wire act definitely doesn't help.
I think Vince's decisions to vastly tone down his dunking has extended his career over those like McGriddle.
They all fill a huge need for there team it really depends on how well they play themselves.

I'm a lot more wary if Rose's return than most. He's a great player but he also will be hard to reintegrate back into the Bulls- he's a ball dominant player, but lets be honest he's going to be poor for at least a month or two (no knock on them, but look at Shump and Rubio)- that's not a good combination. Factor in Noah being out with Plantar Fascitis and I'm not sure the Bulls are going to win at the rate they have been.

I agree. Still would avoid them at all costs though in the playoffs
Until proven otherwise, it's Amar'e Stoudemire. We're only 10-6 dating back to Stoudemire's return but we've won the battle of the boards during 11 of those 16 games. We've out rebounded our opponents by the count of 691-639, which is a plus/minus differential of +3.25 per game. Tyson Chandler is feasting off the glass but Amar'e has impacted since his return. Especially on the boards where he's boxing out and either getting the board or creating space for Chandler to feast down low. We've gone from one of the worst to one of the best rebounding teams in all of basketball since Stoudemire's returned.
My answer is Amar'e until Rose/Granger's able to prove otherwise.
I went with Amare because I don't think many thought he would physically be able to come back and play at the level he is playing at. Rose healthy certainly will be a huge help for Chicago but I don't know if he will be fully back until next year. Shump certainly appears to have a ways to go.
I voted for Rose just because the PG position is so important.
When healthy, he is the only arguably top 5 talent of the three.
He is going to add scoring and clutch shots in cruchtime to
a team that Thibodeau has playing out of their minds. The trio
of Noah, Boozer & Deng have all elevated their play this year in
Rose's absence.
