The preseason opener on Oct. 7 for the Chicago Bulls against the Milwaukee Bucks at home at the United Center brought difficult competition to the table. In the second preseason game this year for the Bulls, the spotlight will be even brighter with a nationally televised game on ESPN on tap against the reigning No. 1 overall draft pick, forward Zion Williamson, and the New Orleans Pelicans on tap on Oct. 9.
The Bulls do get to face a host of young and talented players to get valuable experience for solid rookies of their own like point guard Coby White and center Daniel Gafford.
