The Chicago Bulls announced today that they have exercised their fourth-year options for the 2007-08 season on guard Ben Gordon and forwards Luol Deng and Viktor Khryapa.

In two seasons with the Bulls, Gordon, a 6-3, 200-pound guard, has appeared in 162 games (50 starts) for the Bulls, and averaged 16.0 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 2.5 apg, 27.7 mpg and shot .417 from the floor, .421 from behind the arc and .825 from the line. Selected with the third pick in NBA Draft 2004, Gordon is the only rookie in NBA history to receive the league’s Sixth Man Award.

The 6-9, 220-pound Deng has appeared in 139 games (101 starts) and posted averages of 13.1 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 2.0 apg and 30.7 mpg. He has shot .452 from the field and .747 from the line. Deng, the seventh pick in NBA Draft 2004, came to the Bulls in a Draft-night deal with the Phoenix Suns in exchange for a future conditional first-round pick, the draft rights to Jackson Vroman (31st overall pick) and cash considerations.
