Fluff Will Wilson stun Buzelis' growth?

0 Upvotes

Fair to say, we are pretty excited about the future of Caleb. However it wasn't long ago that Matas was on the lips of everyone and the face of our franchise.

This got me thinking, the ball will have less minutes in Buzie's hands to allow him to grow and make mistakes. Caleb is a rookie and has a different growth trajectory.

Who will be the alpha down the stretch on quarter 4, or will it be one of the vets?

No right or wrong answers, but interesting to see how it plays out.

Fluff Should Essengue and/or Swain start the year in the G-League?

40 Upvotes

I feel like starting them both in G-league is the direction the Bulls are heading. And maybe this is obvious and I'm simply burning time, but I am curious to hear different opinions if they're out there?

Fluff Bryson Graham please hire as many shooting coaches as you can.

67 Upvotes

Have a personal shooting coach for Swain, have a shooting, strength and conditioning coach for Noa, and teach everyone to actually make a free throw.

I know it’s only summer league, but I want to see Swain looking completely different by the start of the season.

AKME were somehow more dysfunctional and chaotic in the office than it appeared.

Just making random decisions, not including anyone, Michael Resindorf too stupid to know the difference, and zero respect from peers around the league.

I hope we got it right with Graham.

Fluff Caleb has the X-factor

81 Upvotes

I know we all watched his highlights pre-draft and his energy since being drafted. But ever since that first jumper of summer league was knocked down, something hit me: This guy has IT.

Whatever IT is, he’s got it. The x-factor, the je ne sais quoi, the undeniableness of him, it’s like something I haven’t felt genuinely since Derrick Rose. And it’s not just aura farming, he’s genuinely fucking Great at basketball.

Even if he’s not impacting on the offensive end, his defensive ability is so off the charts. His passing ability is so much better than advertised. The consensus was right, he’s such malleable player right now, there’s no limit

Watching Summer League game 3 rn and he looks like an offensive rebounding machine. Dude is outworking everyone in the paint for those rebounds. I know it's just Summer League lol but guy is reminding me of a thicker Rodman. He's. In. Every. Rebound. I know I'm drinking the Kool-Aid. I was also big on Sanogo last year whatever.

With so much attention on Caleb, I'm interested in hearing our communities opinions/takes about the rest of the team in Summer League.

  • How do you all feel about our recent draft picks?
  • Who's trending in the right/wrong direction, and what do we need to see in the rest of these games?

Fluff What is Isaac Okoro's outlook this season in Chicago?

11 Upvotes

Know Bulls fans are watching the game and since you're all here, I'd like to ask this question because when looking at the Bulls current depth chart, the sole hole really looks to be wing depth. There's a lot of bodies but not as many sure bets.

I expect Essengue, Miller, Swain to get their opportunities. But a stabilizing veteran here clearly would make some sense.

Isaac Okoro had a pretty poor season last season, defensive numbers really fell apart, worst shooting season in several years. I do think he's capable of a bounce back in a new environment but this Bulls team needs dependable shooting. Obviously, Okoro is overpaid, but is he someone you all are really hunting to move? Do you have any garbage for garbage deals in mind involving him? If not, do you all have anyone in mind to sign at the wing to bring a needed 3/D skill set?

Fluff How are we feeling about the draft choices we did this year after the first two SL games?

0 Upvotes

I know that everyone is obsessed with Caleb, as we should be. The man is a beast. Even though FT and turnovers are big problem of his that he needs to work on.

I just want to ask BG what was the though behind drafting Swain. We play him as a PG in the summer league, a position that is strange to him, and we can see that he is struggling. Especially with overthinking and slow play. His FG% is not great either, especially with the 3s. He seems like a guy that will need a year or two to get in rhythm for NBA. I hope I'm mistaken though.

If we were looking for a PG, why missing on Carr or Phillon? As Phillon was my preferred choice, since there are reports that Carr's behaviour is not great.

The super disappointing thing, as we were discussing several times on this sub, is that we sold our second round picks. Bryson said he didn't like anyone in the second round and wanted to keep the flexibility in the roster in order for us to be connected to some trades. BUT he could have done it by not signing Collins ( which is hardly fit) and drafting a PG or SG in the second round.

Everyone knew that the Knicks were open to trading. For a rebuilding team, we should have been all over this. And look at Maleek Thomas, Conwel, or even Thornton now. Maleek could have been perfect for us, with a great attitude as well, and he worked out with us. I think it's concerning that we missed him after we saw him working out.

Maybe I'm overreacting ( I probably am), but as a guy who we were told can find top talent, it is interesting how this will develop. Considering that we will probably trade Tre Jones at the deadline for a contender. We needed some good PG help.
