MILWAUKEE – Billy Donovan feels like Patrick Williams does have an identity.

The Bulls coach made that clear on Friday when discussing the starting power forward.

The issue now is getting Williams to consistently play to that identity.

“You have to have an awareness when you’re playing like, ‘How far is this guy off me? Who is off me? Does this guy have length or not? Is he closing hard?’ That’s where he can start to build an identity, that when he’s getting closeouts he’s got to play better against them,” Donovan said.
