He is easily the last option in the starting line up with mainly guys who like to take the ball themselves. He would be perfect off the bench IMO, we need a defensive PF in the starting line up or one that can stretch the defense with the 3 ball better than Williams can. I think Williams' 3-pt shot is good enough to keep the defense honest. He's still got a way to go before making much of an impact. I'm ok with him as the starting PF for now. Javonte Green has been impressive as a PF so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Zach having a bad shooting night and they're up 25 after 3. I think that might be one of the biggest differences with the team this year. There's so many good scoring options that if LaVine has a bad night, DeRozan, Vooch, and Lonzo can pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Lonzo Ball only has 1 assist but 4 blocks and 3 steals... that's pretty insane the blocks for a PG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Remember back in the day when Garpax would give away 2nd round picks for money? Ayo is this year's 2nd round pick and he's already been productive. Garpax were such complete shit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Really, really digging what Lonzo Ball is bringing to the Bulls so far. Better than I expected (I expected an upgrade). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how fast AKME was able to shed the Garpax stink. The team's ball handling, athleticism, and defense is noticeably improved. I know the opponents have been garbage so far, but it's been so fun to watch. I see Lavine and Vuce can score at every level and they have more scorers now who can help carry the load that haven't existed for years, not even the Rose-era Bulls. I'm wondering how their defense is going to hold up against better opponents but I think the offense is legit. The team so far - necessary caveat - is a little more complete than I thought. The pieces might not fit together perfectly but they seem to work. I didn't watch any Bulls games last year (not intentionally, they just weren't on national TV and I didn't have League Pass) so I haven't seen Lavine play in a while, he's improved a LOT. He's the best 2 the team has had since you-know-who. I don't think there's anything he can't do on the floor at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavine with a bad night and you have a 31 point lead in 4th quarter…stellar. Derozan with a real nice game and defense remained stellar. Pistons are terrible though.

He has nice touch but looks so slow by my eye test. He got heavy between off-seasons which looked like the plan as they want him playing more four but still - I’d like to see more quickness. His mid range is nice - need aggression though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shot looks quick but he has to learn from Lavine and Derozan and become better at finishing in and around paint. That is what takes him next level. That d is sick and he is so lethal in fast break with guys running. The block he had in first half was sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raBBit Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Lonzo is just a pest. He's so long and invasive. Always seems to be in the right spot on D. A lot of fun so far beating up bad teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Bulls have been a lot of fun. But 2 games against the Pistons and one vs a Zion less NO, isn't exactly a challenge. Hope they can keep it up vs halfway decent teams so there is something interesting to watch in Chicago before next baseball season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Tonight will be interesting without Vuc. So much of the offense goes through him, through pick and rolls. Will be interesting to see how they adjust (like maybe moving Williams to 5 and starting caruso?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Not a bad day for Vuc to be off. No Pascal tonight and Toronto is really small themselves. They don't have anyone over 6'9". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone so athletic, he’s very stiff on the court. I just don’t see him being a difference maker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
