Yeah the inside out game along with the fast break high pace is going to be fun to watch Luke work that into the system. As much as Luke wants to play like the Dubs we just do not have Steph/Klay/KD to be able to pass it along the 3 point line and rely on down screens etc. I hope we get close to .500 since the Shammies have our pick if anything to fuck them out of a high pick :lolol:

Rondo would be worth a year or two.

As much as I hate Rondo he WAS a great pass first PG with the big 3 especially before the knee injury, I don't really want him but who the fuck knows if he can teach the kids

Damn he looks good...months ago I thought he'd be a fun person to hate on the Celtics and didn't want him...then I started watching some tape and he realized he wasn't his father...we are sooo fucking lucky to have won that 15% chance lottery and to have created enough doubt about our intent that nobody traded with the Celtics for him...gg magic and co...well played...I love waiting two weeks and scoring caldwell ross on a one year that he'll have to play his ass off to get payed next year...now don't fuck it up with rondo...Ingram ball and Lopez can run the team

I may be wrong, since I don't follow NCAA bball, but this rookie class looks amazing. Should definitely be a fun year of rookies and Roy is def gonna be a crazy race...I like how the bulls are handling themselves...with this dump rebuild...looks well played...good timing

As a Wildcat alum I've heard nothing but great things about his work ethic and he is more than a spot up shooter but he will need to put on some muscle to really actualize his potential but the Bulls got a steal in him. Sean Miller said he was one of the most coachable players he's been around so there is that too.

With all the losing lately seeing these young bucks win this was pretty cool. Kuzma is a fucking steal at this point. Lonzo (I have to hate him for being from fUCLA) actually surprised me. I take back my trash comment, I just really wanted Fox or Jackson. Really looking forward to this season and possibly getting 35-40 wins.

Ball
Pope/Kuzma
Ingram/Deng
Randle
Lopez/Zubac

If the back up PG positions and PF positions get decent play I think they will be fun to watch with Lonzo leading the show.

What backup pg? All we have is ball.

Like you said

Ball ?
Pope clarkson brewer hart?
Ingram deng
Randle nance kuzma?
Lopez Zubac Bryant?

That's 13...no pg aside from ball..do we resign Tyler Ennis? Sucks we lost nwaba

What about curuso, blue and Thomas?

Where will kuzma actually get most his minutes? The 3?

I know we are all about this "positionless thing is" thing but should be interesting to see how the peices fit.
