waffle · Post #21 » by **waffle** » Fri Oct 11, 2024 2:34 am

our starting 5 over the last 5 games will only have 1 player who was in the starting 5 on opening night

There'll be no tank, but the team is bad, so they still pick in the 12-15 range, but the guy they pick turns out to be the best player in the draft.
*I might have gone beyond bold, into crazy.

BTW we can't pick 12-15, San Antonio gets our pick in that case. We're either bad enough to get top 10, or give that pick to Pops.

You're right, I completely forgot about that.

The organization is so stupid and so full of garbage ass players that they mught unintentionally tank. I know you think this is a championship squad though.

Your reasoned response has persuaded me. This team is now awful.

I have also become convinced, it's amazing when someone takes the time to present an argument with logic and reason.

Bulls def have 4-5 teams far worse than them. 2-3 at the same level. Let’s see how many more pull the plug and tanks at the end of the year.

Only way Bulls are a threat to lose their pick is if we have a dramatic increase in defense

We're not making the playoffs. We're lottery bound.

Vuc hits 35+% of his 3PA, prompting an extension from AKME :-p

Buzelis is playing at least 25 minutes a game by February, a bunch stolen from Pat.

The Bulls are in the Cooper Flagg and Ace Bailey discussion.

I think if anyone is stealing minutes from Pat, it's going to be Julian Phillips and I think it's going to happen by January, where he is playing close to 20 minutes per game.

We'll be obliterated on D.

I see 20 to 25 wins potential.

Don’t think so. JP can do NOTHING with the ball. He will be great hitting corner 3s.

Pat has a lot of rust but he playing with more energy than I have ever seen. We forget how good he looked last season before his injury.

At power forward, whoever plays that spot won't be relied upon to handle the ball a whole lot, so it won't matter. Plus, we have an abundance of guards who can handle the ball currently. The big men just need to be able to catch the ball at times to shoot, to pass on the ball, and occasionally handle the ball on a break when bigs usually offload the ball to guard anyhow.

We're making the Play in with a fast pace offense that'll be fun to watch.

Bulls win 45 games
- Zach stays mostly healthy and returns to all-star form
- Vuch remembers he can kind of shoot and hits 36% of his 3s.
- Coby and Ayo continue to build off strong seasons last year and improve slightly.
- Giddy averages 18/8/8 and, along with a limited Lonzo, force the Bulls to play at a break neck pace all season.
- Dalen, JP, Matas, THT, and Pat provide much needed energy, size, and athleticism on the wings.
