Chicago Bulls: Markkanen’s injury could be blessing in development of Blakeney

The Chicago Bulls have had some unfortunate setbacks with the recent injury of stellar big man and key core player, Lauri Markkanen before the beginning of the preseason.

While many believe it will be a huge setbacks for the team, it may not be that huge of one in what’s now an even weaker Eastern Conference due to the departure of LeBron James. It may actually be a blessing in disguise for this young Bulls team.

As it will allow a lot of the Bulls young players that otherwise wouldn’t have got big minutes with Markkanen healthy to get their feet a little more wet and with a bit more experience.
