Billy Donovan is Building these Bulls

01/20/21 • 50 min

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Stephen Noh (@stephnoh) to discuss the Bulls' surprisingly good play this season, focussing specifically on the schematic changes Billy Donovan has made on both sides of the ball, and how that has positively impacted the Bulls.
On the show, Mark and Stephen dive deep into the shifts on offense; how the shot profile has changed under Donovan; the terrific ball movement under Donovan and how he has extracted this level of performance despite the team being untouched; if this offensive growth is legitimate or an unsustainable hot shooting stretch of games; why the same growth on offense hasn't been replicated on defense; the continued, year-on-year development of Zach LaVine, and if the narrative should shift from trading LaVine to building with and around him.

On the show, Mark and Fred dive into:

The inconsistent performances from Lauri Markkanen
The sub-par point guard play from Coby White
How good is this Bulls team without the veterans, and is this good Bulls season to date driven too much by veterans, less so the young, talented players?
Whether the Bulls should trade for Lonzo Ball
