They SHOULD be in that window based on the talent that has been acquired. Their Backcourt defense, which was atrocious last year, is new and improved. So opposing teams should find it tough with getting penetration into the paint.
The biggest concern is interior defense. Donovan stated that the Bulls will play a lot of small ball due to the team being undersized, so Williams might even play the 5 on some nights. I don’t know about that. If the Bulls can’t keep bigs off the board or protect the rim, it’s going to be a long season.
The Bulls should be top 5/10 in scoring this season, and they should lead the league in steals.
I’m still not a big Lavine fan, but hopefully playing on TEAM USA during the summer has matured his game, and that he is better with protecting the ball.
