I have to say that Dosunmu and Simonovic seem to have the skill level required to hang on at least to the back of the rotation. Good minutes so far.
Constantly underwhelmed by the Bulls.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

In his defense, he's been a pro the longest so he should look the best.

However, PWill is clearly the best player on the court.

I take back my last statement. PWill has turned it on finally lol he looks really uncomfortable early on. But the aggressive play is connecting.

Simonovic moves better than I thought, he might play some minutes at the 4. And Ayo seems fine as a 3 on defense, at least against not so big wings.

Marko's defense is bad so far. He's Lauri stiff out there on defense. No lift on block attempts either.

Lewia Jr is good! Hope he plays more for the Pels this year. I really like him and NAW.

I think we’ll be seeing a lot of 3 guard lineups this year with all of Lonzo, Caruso & Ayo guarding some 3s.

I need Baxter on this roster just for his energy.

Patrick as a SF looking more comfortable.

Ayo looks a mess out there right now

I think he needs to calm down and pace himself.
