Bulls Lead

The tanking Bulls have finally collapsed under Arturas Karnisovas: theleadsm.com/the-bulls-have… @Loganstacy_ | #SeeRed

@LRoyGentleman @JSaltzmandoooo @Ball_InMyHand Zach LaVine is an elite level shot maker. Shooting splits are ridiculous. When they gave him a castoff in DeMar, leaving his prime Vooch, and a pg who never sniffed the All Star gm, the team was very competitive. Can't put weight of blame on him.

@JSaltzmandoooo @BullsLead @Ball_InMyHand Let's not act like Zach wasn't a bucket while he was in a Bulls uniform.

🚨Bulls need a scoring guard 🚨Darryn Peterson could fall to Bulls at 4. 🚨But they should evaluate the drop off with the 2nd best guard which some say is Mikel Brown. 🎯Not the best decision maker, but could become an elite Zach LaVine level scorer.

@FuriousStyles92 @KCJHoop @SamSmithHoops Thanks. Trying to listen to many but also filter out what is real and not.

@BullsLead I only trust @KCJHoop and @SamSmithHoops. I like ur page because you seem reasonable as well as logical. Real convos can be had because you're obviously a fan of THE SPORT, as well as the Bulls. And that's why having these discussions with casual fans n media is so annoying

🚨It's wild that a journalist would say he doesn't want a player while also saying he doesn't know what happened that caused him to miss games. 🎯Darryn Peterson would be welcome in Chicago.

@FuriousStyles92 Said he had some kind of bad fall that kept popping up in high school.

@BullsLead Didn't know about the back injury. What was the severity? I don't recall any NBA players ever truly being themselves after serious back injuries. Larry Johnson, Scottie, Bird. Even Draymond hasn't been the same since a herniated disc. Suggs doesn't look the same either.

Bulls fans want Keaton Wagler because of his skillset, and just as much for his proximity. But the nod probably goes to Mikel Brown because of the handle, athleticism, and shot separation.

@FuriousStyles92 Think the core pieces of what the Bulls have with Giddey, Matas, Tre, even adding in Jalen, Miller, Dillingham are interchangeable enough to play with anyone. But they need to address the center position and Mara could really help there.

@BullsLead The problem for us is we know they type of player BG is looking for but we don't know which position he's prioritizing. We at least have PG n SF covered. But what's next on the list? We have no coach and his system would dictate what position should be the top draft priority 🤷🏾‍♂️

🚨This is a point that Ricky spoke of that doesn't get talked about enough. 🚨A huge issue for the Bulls was ball watching on def. 🚨Can't happen especially as the back line of def. 🎯Really need communicative bigs like Joakim Noah was. x.com/i/status/20552…

@FuriousStyles92 Just a little cautious about the media, especially Bulls media going past the scope of the team they cover. Same media said AK and Donovan were always on the same page, then said AK did his own thing.

@BullsLead There's more to it than injuries. He doesn't seem to CARE abt basketball. Not to mention KC said something abt him rolling around with an entourage. Stuff like that is no good. 1 thing AKME did get right was drafting or signing gut with good character n dedication to basketball

@AbnormalMind112 Probably want all the info before making a judgement Cedric Coward missed time throughout college. But the shooting splits remained mostly the same despite the time he missed. And those splits were really good.

@BullsLead hurt or load managing? neither is a good sign

🚨Darryn Peterson and AJ Dybantsa have never shied away from playing each other. 🚨No reason to think Peterson had a problem playing, other than he was hurt. 🎯Just sayin. 🤷🏿

@FakeFan1023 Bulls should be evaluating every prospect to the fullest degree possible.

@BullsLead Why the fuck are we even talking about either? Boozer or Wilson are sitting right there

@BBPGangsta Possibly. Again not sure. Look back at 2024 and the guys who were taken ahead of others. Lots of head scratchers.

@BullsLead I don't want either at 4. And both will be gone by 15.

@FuriousStyles92 Not sure. The back injury, time missed, and shooting splits could cause him to fall.

@BullsLead Do you think either will be available at 15?

@FuriousStyles92 Not bad. People care too much about draft slotting. But if you identify your guy and he works in your system, who cares qhere a player was drafted. Problem is the Bulls haven't had the best system.

@BullsLead Of all the teas in the lottery who don't necessarily need their pick, I think Id try to trade with OKC at 12. Give them 15 56 n a future 2nd rd pick if the guy we want is still available

@Tuners36 Could be concerning. He makes difficult shots. Problem is many of his shots at the college level against lesser defenders look difficult.

@BullsLead Agreed, I am nervous about Wagler's plodding.

@ReignPHX Doesn't have to be one or the other. Balance is more the thing Wagler would be closer to Devin Booker like player. There's nothing wrong with that given how far Phoenix got. And in the right situation where he's not asked to do more that's fine. Just like Mikel's extra gear

@BullsLead Its players like Wagler who are dominating the league right now. Even Anthony Edwards took that next leap thanks to being more profound from 3 and finesse rather than sheer athleticism. Mikel Brown is nice but I'm not seeing his archetype winning much rn

@ReyAlmighty True but we saw sustained excellence from Steoh Curry from his days at Davidson. Yrs of dominance buys you more risk assessment time.

@BullsLead Injury history doesn't mean injury future. Steph Curry had a bad injury history early in his career. Lots of players bounce back, especially when they're young.

Sorry but if we all believe this draft is as talent laden as it is, why take Jayden Quaintance at 15 given his injury history?

@Wynton_Mohorn 🚨One of the reasons why Thibs should be considered. 🚨His players accelerate like they have an injection of NOS, especially in their 2nd yr. 🚨Part of the reason the Bulls were intrigued by LaVine was that yr he had under Thibs before he was injured.

@BullsLead I can't wait to see if Matas Buzelis actually hits his potential once Bryson Graham hires the Bulls a much better Head Coach than Billy Donovan ever was.

🚨Gentle reminder that in an alternate world Matas Buzelis is starring in the playoffs right now and the Bulls drafted Ron Holland. 🎯 We got a good one.

🚨One yr doesn't define a player. 🚨Sam Mitchell former coach of the yr for the Toronto Raptors who coached him vouches for him. 🚨Sam is a straight shooter and pulls no punches. 🎯Enough said.
