@heathcummingssr@pfref Now show the stats with Johnson's first 29 games in the league. Rome has played one less season and played some of his games with a fractured foot. This is not a predictive stat. It's not even comparing apples to apples based off time in NFL.
@ClutchPoints@BullsNationCP@ringer If you took the second best player off of ANY championship team, they would lose the overwhelming majority of the time. That's not really the hot take he thinks it is.
@CHGO_Bulls@Will_Gottlieb@Will_Perdue32@BawlSports@Bulls_Peck The OKC and SAS models don't exist anymore. Adam Silver took tanking off the table. Plus he just put limits on team picks (including traded ones) from winning the lottery. This is uncharted territory. A new path will have to be made.
@B3Childers@ZenMasterMike I look at Jokic, Luka, SGA, and a lot of other players that are dominating without being special athletically. They aren't high flying athletes. Boozer may be the most skilled of the four. That should carry some weight too.
@DaWheels_1@McGrawDHSports I'm agreeing with this. Maybe not the use of "Buddy". Lol
I see this lottery win requiring a major reset. I even see a young good talent like Matas needing to be moved.
My concern is that this franchise has not had a great history of selling high.
@DaWheels_1@McGrawDHSports Again. For those in the back. I'm not doubting Wilson or Boozer. I'm doubting the fit of the other players already on the roster. Trades will be necessary.
@0hHiYa@McGrawDHSports The pick is not my concern. BPA is obvious here. The Essengue selection looks like a worse fit now. Not sure about Matas either.
@McGrawDHSports The Bulls risk building a roster full of โconnector forwardsโ without role separation.
Matas, Essengue, Wilson need:
space
transition usage
weak side freedom
developmental reps at the 4
Modern NBA versatility matters, but lineup fit matters too. A trade will be needed.
@StephNoh You are the BEST at basketball analysis. I look forward to your posts. I don't comment much, but after seeing that comment, I guess I should.
@paulsledge@TomPelissero@nflnetwork The league is getting so much free air time for this. MLB would love to get half this buzz. Drama sells. Crosby can have not one, but two potential "revenge" games.
