Undefeated, the Bulls are taking full advantage of players seeking contracts

bulls Never before 2021 in Chicago! The Bulls haven’t started the regular season with three wins in as many games in four years. Billy Donovan’s men reached this quota by pushing Hawks last night.

By applying the formula already used during the previous two outings: relying on the amount of resources. All members of the starting five finished with 10 or more points, as did three players off the bench. Including team leading scorer Ayo Dosunmu with 21 points.

« And we haven’t even got Coby back yet (white) and Zech (Collins)», points out Kevin Huerter (15 points) with a smile, to better underline the room for maneuver that his training would still have. Meanwhile, the team’s defender believes that their coach has found the beginnings of a good method.

« If we keep playing at this pace, with fresh players coming and going, we can wear teams down. (Billy Donovan nous a) talked about our identity during the preseason and everyone understood not only that we have depth, but that we can count on that depth », developed by Kevin Huerter.

Good contract effect?

After three games, as many as six players have an average of 13 points or more, including the expected leader of the offensive, Nikola Vucevic with an average of 20 points and the author of 17 points and 17 rebounds against Atlanta. The explanation, other than the good chemistry that Billy Donovan noticed in the locker room? “We also have a lot of players entering the last year of their contracts», the coach notes.

Rightly so, as more than half of the team’s executives are affected and will be free agents next summer: Nikola Vucevic, Zach Collins, Kevin Huerter, Kobe White, Ayo Dosunmu…

«They are competitors. Like any player at this level, they certainly want to prove themselves. Sometimes different situations create different opportunities for players, but I feel like there’s a certain level where these guys feel they really have to push themselves and prove their worth.», notes the coach.

Among the few teams still undefeated with the Thunder, Spurs and Sixers, Chicago will welcome the Kings on Wednesday in the best possible shape.

«We really must maintain this state of mind, because it is necessary. It’s important», added Billy Donovan.
