The Chicago Bulls have long had a question mark at the point guard post. Some are hoping Coby White can fill the post in the 2019 NBA Draft picks, but others are questioning it because of his ‘first point’ style. While playing for White this year, he seems to have put more effort into being an everyday point guard instead of just being a dynamic scorer off the bench. Now it’s going up and down, but maybe Artūras Karnišovas and Marc Eversley have seen enough.
Trade rumors have been swirling around point guard Lonzo Ball of Pelicans, and the Bulls, among others, are apparently interested.
Lonzo Ball will enter limited free agency next offseason, so why would the Bulls trade for him? Well, his value has never been lower and he possesses a lot of potential. Lonzo plays fast, just like the Chicago Bulls want to do with a new look, so he could possibly be a fit as the playmaker and defender they need. On top of that, it would have the Bulls examine the 23-year-old well to determine if he would be worth retaining, instead of offering him an insane amount of money in a limited free agency.
Ball’s score is a bit rough as he’s a 39% off the field shooter in his career, a 33% three – point shooter and worst of all a 43% shooter. But before this season, he has been constantly improving in all three categories. The Bulls would not look at him as a dynamic scorer, but rather as the main facilitator around players like Zach LaVine, Patrick Williams and Wendell Carter Jr. to help you get the best look and be in the right place. at the right time.
It’s just a rumor right now, but it will definitely be an interesting situation to monitor in the coming months.
