Lonzo is huge for us as we've been playing basically without a PG. Satoransky is a hybrid guard and Coby White is more a shooter, like an undersized SG. So Lavine ends up handling the ball more than he should be which results in TO's and it also means he is less effective off the ball, because, well... he's on the ball.Oh for sure. I think this group is a fantastic mix on offense.
DD's main weakness is not shooting 3s. All good, the other 3-4 guys in the starting 5 can all shoot 3s.
Vuc is a great pick and roll big. He'll be able to run pick and rolls with any of Lonzo, Lavine or DD, plus his main 3pt shot is top of the key.
Lavine obviously can iso score, but I think he'll enjoy playing off-ball a bit too. One of the knocks on him is his TO-rate last season, but we didn't have many alternatives.
Lonzo is a pass-first point guard, which I think Lavine will appreciate most of all. And he'll get plenty of open looks for 3 on this team which he can knock down.
Even after all these moves, the one I'm most excited to watch next season is Williams.
I worry he could stall a little bit on the offensive end being the 5th option. But I genuinely have very high hopes for him. I think his athleticism alone could see him average 10-12ppg, particularly playing with Lonzo and DD. Combine that, and focus on playing a big part on the defensive end, I'd be very happy.
Exciting times for a Chicago fan.
But putting the ball in Lonzo's hands means a true pass first PG who will look to set up Lavine for easy buckets and deep threes. Williams is also gonna profit from Lonzo as well, he is young and often gets a little lost on offence and without a savvy PG getting him the ball in his spots he can be a non factor on offence. But he does have a good upside on that end of the floor and look for him to contribute more now with a proper PG. His defensive side of the game speaks for itself, cracking young talent.
Should be an exciting year for the Bulls.
