The Chicago Bulls have been playing stronger basketball recently, winning eight of their last twelve games. However, there is still a lot of space for growth, particularly if the squad intends to fight for an automatic postseason berth.
Here are two players who must do better when the calendar turns to 2024:
“So, if he shows any signs of improvement, it’s tempting to wonder if the light bulb has finally clicked. “December has been his best month by far, but he still isn’t consistently displaying the kind of force Chicago wants (and requires) him to play with,” Zach Buckley wrote on Bleacher Report.
Bulls coach Billy Donovan believes in Williams’ abilities and hopes he can demonstrate them every night.
“You want to stay away from those large gaps where it’s like, ‘Who are we getting night tonight?'” Billy Donovan shared.
“Patrick can control his force and aggression. That is all we need from him on a consistent basis. And I believe he’s capable of doing so.”
This summer, the team’s front management completed two low-key acquisitions, including Jevon Carter. Much was anticipated of the Illinois native following his season with the Milwaukee Bucks, when he served as a sparkplug off the bench who could put up big numbers when given the opportunity to start.
However, Coby White’s rise and Carter’s poor performance have pushed him to the bottom of the rotation, where he plays only 14 minutes per night.
