The Bulls went into this season without the ‘purest’ or most ‘traditional’ point guards. Lonzo Ball can dazzle in transition but doesn’t really break down a defense in the half-court. Alex Caruso has a very low usage. We saw what Coby White did with the starting role last year. It didn’t exactly matter much because the Bulls have Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan to run the offense, and the PG spot was needed more for a defensive-first player.
Another addition to the roster preseason was Ayo Dosunmu, a 2nd round pick only officially, as he was a very productive college player but perhaps also not in the stereotypical mold for point guard in the NBA.
