Patrick Williams starts second quarter with Jalen Smith to run with Giddey, Huerter, Dosunmu. Very well could be a regular season lineup option for Billy Donovan

Law Murray 📘 @lawmurraythenu.bsky.social · 18h

Bulls started Giddey/Huerter/Okoro/Buzelis/Vucevic with Coby White out

second unit: Jones/Dosunmu/Terry/Phillips/Collins. guessing Patrick Williams is being held out

Evan Mobley had six games last season where he made multiple 3s in the first quarter

In 2023-24, Mobley only had five *complete games* with multiple 3s

Starts the preseason with another one. Freedom to launch proficiently has been a big part of his star development

Rui Hachimura's most frequent defensive assignments were on forwards last regular season. In the playoffs, he was primarily assigned to Rudy Gobert.

Asked Hachimura about his choice of where he fits best defensively, and what the coaching staff has asked of him

Asked Jarred Vanderbilt about Anthony Edwards giving him a shout out, particularly after the playoff series the Timberwolves and Lakers had in April
