First-round pick Dalen Terry has made only eight cameo appearances for the Bulls this season. He was grateful to get a G League assignment with the Windy City Bulls, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago writes.
Terry got a chance to play extensive minutes in two games over the weekend before being recalled.
“It was a great experience. It felt good to go against somebody besides the imagination in my head,” Terry said. “There’s no better way to get back into game shape than going down and playing some games.”
We have more on the Bulls:
- The Nuggets jumped all over Chicago on Sunday, grabbing a 62-47 halftime lead en route to a 23-point victory. Bulls coach Billy Donovan called the first-half performance inexcusable, according to Annie Costabile of the Chicago Sun Times. ‘‘We had three days in terms of no games, so we should have been an extremely fresh basketball team,’’ Donovan said. ‘‘There’s always some form of adversity that hits the game, and we have to be better at thriving in that.’’
- Coby White has missed the last seven games due to a quad injury and he didn’t practice on Monday. It’s unlikely he’ll practice on Tuesday either, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago tweets.
- The Bulls are off to a slow start mainly because executive VP of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas chose a path of continuity with a roster full of players with significant injury histories, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times opines.
Joe Cowley should cover something else besides basketball.
Ping Pong stands out.
Name three teams that don’t have a roster full of injury history. The Bulls stand out because they have “names” on that team other teams want.
They look like a legit contender to play in the conference finals rather than a second round and out team.
Is the complaint.
The Bulls have started out slow. So? Last year they started out fast and had nothing at the end. I’d rather have them start off slow and get healthy at the end. Winning now means nothing really. They’ll have streaks, Good and Bad. As for the AK only keeps injured players, is so stupid on so many levels it’s not worth a penny. What I cannot understand however is the refusal to sign another PF to cover Williams if he struggled again. The insistence on throwing smaller guys at big strong guys is mind boggling to me. It needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
Who is even paying attention to the Bulls, and why? It’s the definition of insanity. Same roster, same results.
