Excited to watch Dunn & Markkanen.

A dynasty is brewing... I'm sensing back to back SL championships. 3/5 of the starting 5 could very well be starting opening night for the NBA squad.

If Jaylen Brown finds a consistent jumper like how he is looking in SL so far, and Tatum can compete for rookie of the year, Boston should challenge the Lebrons much better this year with Hayward. It really boils down to how better their bench will become.

As for the Bulls, I'm just ready to see how this new, young squad looks.

Do the Bulls have an official roster or for this year?

This should be fun to watch.

I'm obviously going to watch how Lauri does, but a close second for me is Zipser. I don't know why I'm such a huge fan of his, but I really like his demeanor and approach to the game.

Still, many young prospects from the Bulls willl get burn and it will just fun them play, though it won't mean all that much either way on how they actually perform, because summer league.

I am guardedly optimistic about Zipser. I think the key to his success is to get leaner/quicker, I think many NBA guys focus on strength too much and quickness too little. Zipser has skills to be an NBA starting SF, but needs to improve his quickness to get there.

I'm going to watch them. Markkanen interests me the most, but am looking forward to seeing Payne play and I hope Dunn bring the level of play he showed last year before concussion.

I am cheering for a starting team of Payne-Dunn-Valentine-Zipser-Markkanen, to see some modern day Hoiball

From invites, Blakeney I am most interested to see, but he is another guard and we got plenty. Others are big ?

Chitownbulls · Post #210 » by **Chitownbulls** » Thu Jul 6, 2017 1:25 pm

I'm hoping Lauri Markkanen doesn't just stay at the 3pt line...

Go to the post! He should have his way with them

Im also interested to see Cameron Payne & Dunn. Im confident Dunn will play well.

Let's see what kind of evaluation skills GarPax have.... these are the same dudes that traded Taj Gibson, Doug McDermott & our 2nd rounder for Cameron Payne

Cameron Payne has to show something in summer league

He actually forgot to mention being interested in good 7' footers.

I think it changes as I recall that the Bulls said that Valentine/Zipser will be seeing limited roles.

Who's going?

It'd be cool to meet up for the 1:30 game vs Dallas on Saturday.

PM me and I'll get an email chain going.

Wow, didn't realize we had the Villanova star Ryan Arcidiacono from SAS.
I thought POP would love that kid and develop him.
I think this kid can shoot.

Blakeney is interesting. Apparently a big deal he left LSU early and maybe could have been a late 1st round draft pick if he stayed according to this report-

Read on Twitter

Brimah looks like a baby Mutumbo.

He looks like he could be nasty if he bulks up a bit.

Watched UTAH SL last night, saw Fultz. I can't wait for more!

Bulls need to dominate summer league with the amount of talent we're bringing.

Jvaughn · Post #219 » by **Jvaughn** » Thu Jul 6, 2017 2:22 pm

I'm interested to see how Payne does. If he can't dominate the Summer League, I'm very pessimistic he can be a mediocre pro.

It's our only chance of winning anything. With the number of teams tanking, the odds we win the first pick are also slim.
