48 Minutes "Two-a-Days" Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers

So, World B, last season, the Chicago Bulls finished an uninspiring 31-51 on this season.

That team...

You know, this is a team and franchise that's always kind of hovered around that 500 mark for years, but they finally took a slide, and with that, changes were made.

The Bulls now have new leadership in the front office and on the court with Tiago Splitter taking over as the head coach for Billy Donovan.

It's very early, but all signs point to the Bulls nailing their fourth overall selection, drafting Caleb Wilson, and they've added veterans Norman Powell and Nick Claxton this summer as well.

Where are you at on this Bulls team as they got a pretty big facelift this summer?

They did, and I think we've been waiting for this for a while with the Bulls.

When are they going to just get rid of the old guard and start rebuilding or retooling, however you want to call it, reloading? And we're starting to see the – the reloading beginning here with the drafting of Caleb Wilson, the smart, I think smart picks, uh, in a free agency, picking up Norman Powell, I think is a solid pickup to go with Josh Giddy, who's an all around player, uh, Matt is bazoolas, bazellas, excuse me.

Um, is an up and coming player.

I think they're starting five when you throw in Nick class and along with, we assume Caleb Wilson is a pretty entertaining, pretty solid starting five.

I don't think there's a whole, you know, it's, there's a real issue with their starting five.

It's when somebody has to go to the bench that the fun really begins for this team.

And it's just, it's going to be a struggle for them once they go to the bench as they're currently constructed because there is not a lot on that bench uh to go with and you know they won 31 games but i mean they were just bad at both ends of the court bottom 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency um We liked – I liked Billy Donovan.

I don't know how great of a coach he was for that team, but I liked a couple years ago he decided to just scrap his original plan and decided to be more up-tempo, more threes.

We'll see if that continues.

I suspect it will because the Blazers last season took a lot of threes for that franchise.

So I suspect they're going to continue that.

Now, with Norman Powell in the mix, you figure they'll continue the three-point shooting.

Not a lot in the mid-range game.

Don't expect a whole lot there.

But I really think they have a chance to do better than the 31 wins last season.

Maybe not by much or whatever.

I don't consider them a playoff or a play-in team.

I don't think they're anywhere close.

I think they're going to be as far away as this past season.
