Chicago Bulls need to replace Patrick Beverley as ‘backcourt leader’

When the Chicago Bulls tried to push all of their chips onto the table two years ago, they brought in Lonzo Ball to lead their squad. The point guard put up great numbers but only appeared in 35 games for Chicago before going down with a knee injury. He hasn’t returned since and is expected to miss all of next year, too.
