It is his first real action in more than a year though. He's been one of the only Bulls who actually looks like he knows how to play the right way though.

Another good pass by Val to Gafford. I like Gafford too.

Denzel will never be an athlete but he's arguably the Bulls most skilled and highest IQ player. My biggest takeaway from this first game is that he's at least as athletic as he's been as a Bull and therefore capable of a being a useful bench piece.

Coby looks like a cartoon character with that hair. I know he has good size but his head makes his body look tiny. It's funny.

People down on Val, but I like what he has done. Smart player that knows his physical limitations.

Mokoka is another aggressive rookie.

Gafford doesn't play like a rookie. He's gonna be a good player for us.

There's no wing depth, which sucks.

I'll go ahead and make a sig bet that Mikal is better by RPM this year than Zach.

Yeah gafford is going to give Carter some competition.
Carter knows athletically hes no match to him. Skys the limit for Gafford.

I'm more concerned with depth inside. Carter can't stay healthy and Young looks like an aging tweener that can't shoot. I think Young will be OK, but we are gonna have problems against teams with length like Milwaukee did tonight. And that was without Giannis.

I agree. He just anticipates so well, it compensates for his lack of athleticism. Just always seems to be in the right place.

I still think White will have issues finishing with his two handed short arm style.

Dunn is the Seinfeld "I've seen enough" gif in human form.

After a rough first quarter, Dunn has actually played pretty well.

Mokoka has been solid with his 4th quarter minutes.

Coby looks good but he really needs to tighten up that dribble. It's still just way too high and that is going to cause him a lot of problems in this league.

Surprisingly, the Bulls have been taking care of the ball fairly well. Except for Lavine, and he only has 4 TO's nobody has really turned the ball over much.
