With Lonzo Ball’s new season-long package, Bulls will still have to turn to an “interim” leader to accompany DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic and probably Patrick Williams in their starting five.
A nice puzzle in perspective for Billy Donovan, who will have to determine who of the newcomer Jevon Carter or “elders” Ayo Dosunmu And Coby White will have the shoulders to be the holder of Chicago at position 1, while the experienced Alex Caruso could also have a say.
To believe Artūras Karnišovasthe vice-president of basketball operations of the franchise, the coach of the Bulls has in any case not stopped his choice on a particular name, since everything will be defined at the time of the training campwhich will begin next week.
“ I think it will be a fierce competition, with a lot of good leaders », he considers from The Score. “ This is the state of mind with which we will arrive at training camp. I can not wait to be there. It’s going to be difficult for Billy [Donovan]. »
Last season, we remember that Chicago mainly trusted Ayo Dosunmu (51 starts), but also Alex Caruso (36) and Patrick Beverley (22), to occupy its place as starting leader. With more or less success for each, which could potentially allow recruit Jevon Carter, native of Illinois, to do well…
“ It brings us tenacity, courage and a competitive spirit that we thought we needed », declared during the summer Marc Eversley, the GM of the Bulls. “ Not to mention that he also shoots 40% 3-point success. We talked a lot about bringing back shooting quality [dans l’effectif]. »
