By the time media were admitted into the Advocate Center on Friday afternoon, Bobby Portis was stationed at the northeast basket going through shooting drills. Joining him were teammates Robin Lopez and Quincy Pondexter, as well as one assistant coach.
Other Bulls were sprinkled at four other baskets. Cristiano Felicio worked alongside an assistant on post moves and simulated rolling to the basket. Jerian Grant and David Nwaba played one-on-one. Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and Kay Felder practiced various shots around the rim and mid-range pull-ups.
It had the look and feel of any other practice, business as usual.
