Goran Dragic, the 36 year old guard signed at the end of this offseason, may be stepping into a bigger role than anticipated in the wake of Lonzo Ball’s likely unavailability.
He did not have much left last season, but it was a weird season overall that saw him sitting out to find a bigger role on another team.
But later this summer, Dragic made a surprise decision to un-retire from international competition and participated in Eurobasket for his native Slovenian national team.
Though he and his countrymen (including Luka Doncic) fell short of their goal after a stunning quarterfinals upset Wednesday to Poland, the Bulls’ new reserve point guard showed off plenty of veteran moxie even in defeat, and enjoyed a relatively productive tournament run.
