NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It was the low point of the summer for Dalen Terry. Actually, it was rock bottom. He had come out of Las Vegas looking more like an undrafted free agent filling a July roster spot as a favor to an agent than the 18th pick of the 2022 draft putting in his second stint in the NBA Summer League. And he wore the disappointment like an uncomfortable parka.
Maybe it was the talks he had with his Bulls teammates after five disappointing summer games. Maybe it was another two weeks in Los Angeles working out with six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan at 3 a.m. every day. Or maybe it was just a young man having an epiphany. In any case, it suddenly dawned on Terry: “Just trust my work.”
