Bulls top draft pick Lauri Markkanen Sunday made his NBA debut and was widely off the Mark, making one of nine shots and zero for six on threes in the Bulls 108-95 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.
But Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg loved it.
“One thing everyone loves about Lauri (was from) Summer League,” Hoiberg explained. “My favorite game is when he took 10 threes and didn’t make any of them (game two loss to Atlanta). But he kept shooting them and the next game he bounced back knocking down shots. We want him aggressive. He is one of the best shooters on this basketball team.
