Tanking is Getting in the Way of Growth – and that’s bad for Chicago

Coming into the NBA season, we expected the Bulls to lose and lose a lot. The Las Vegas over/under on the Bulls’ win total was a league-low 21.5; their current 21-42 likely makes the betters on the low out of some money. The growth of the young players seemed a reason to watch among the failings.

Many fans are totally cool with the Bulls losing. Fans got their eye on a top pick in the NBA Draft, hopefully, one who can re-legitimize a franchise. Since the Derrick Rose-era came to a crashing end, the Bulls joined a collective of NBA clubs hoping to re-enter the championship race.
