The Bulls have an intriguing group of young talent, and the additions of Wendell Carter Jr. and Jabari Parker have some people thinking playoffs in 2018-19, as ESPN’s Zach Lowe notes in Thursday’s mega-column about the team.
But Lowe himself is bearish on those expectations largely because of how bad the Bulls’ defense profiles to be, and he outlines what really matters about the upcoming campaign: “This season should not be about winning. It should be about discovering how the young players fit, and whom to keep long term.”
This is a notion I’ve been echoing of late.
