Tobe Awaka

They're going to destroy you on the offensive glass.

Awaka played well.

So they just don't have a lot of levers to pull there.

And I think that's kind of the story of this team right now is like, that's part of why you're seeing Okoro get, you know, not play in a half and then be like featured in the next game or modest be, you know, playing pretty well and then getting benched in the fourth quarter.

We will see if he actually is part of the rotation moving forward.

Who knows? Again, we saw Awaka.

We saw Jordan Hawkins.

We saw Sellers.

Sellers chucking and missing threes off the bench.

Awaka still killing it on the offensive glass.

And Zach Collins played a few minutes.

It was somehow a minus 20 in six minutes by part of those all-bench units.

For the Bulls, though, I see Giddey is probable.

Awaka is probable as well.

I see Collins is probable too.

I see Hawkins and Swain are questionable, and Nick Claxton, who is supposed to be the starting center, is out once again.

That does get me excited about what this Bulls team could have in their head coach.

When you saw the different lineups that were going in, when you saw, you know, you're at the end of the game and you're seeing Noah Essengay on the floor with Buddy Hill, Jalen Sellers, Awaka, Zach Collins is getting in there.

You're seeing Leonard Miller get a ton of run.

Leonard Miller struggled tonight, too, by the way.

And I thought that he was starting to prepare some of those young guys that might have to get in games if injuries do arise.

Noah Essengate, you talk about.

Toby Awaka, who was able to get in there, right? Those are guys that still need real reps and need real minutes.

And by the way, like, The Toronto Raptors weren't benching guys.

Claxton is out.

Okoro, Miller, Collins, Awaka, all probable.

Raptors get Kawhi.

That's somebody to, you know, when the game is on the line, down the stretch, et cetera, your go-to guy.

He's been on his way back for a while now, and the Bulls could really use some depth back.

And then it seems like Okoro and Awaka, both of whom had been out for the last couple of preseason games, they will be back as well.

This is great news.

It's good stuff to hear.

Evan Nelson on my team.

And I could have had a four-man squad of, of Tobe Awaka, Koa Pete, Anthony De Orso, and Evan Nelson, and that would go toe-to-toe with yours, but I think you still probably come out on top.

Kevin's team, however-

Dude, I had JB-
