Heading into the summer, it was clear the Chicago Bulls had holes to fill. Arturas Karnisovas made it clear he didn’t want to reset the roster, so the Bulls pushed forward rather than step back. With that being their goal, the Bulls aimed to address their weaknesses.
The signings of Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig will help their need for 3-point shooting and defense, but Chicago could still use some guard depth. Carter is a great get and bringing back Coby White was a good move, too, but adding another point guard to the roster would be helpful.
A veteran option could be the play. Ben Stinar of Sports Illustrated believes the Bulls should go after five-time All-Star John Wall.
“In addition, the Bulls ranked 20th in the NBA for assists per game (24.4).
Wall could likely be signed for a minimum contract at this stage of his career, meaning there would be no downside if he were not a good fit with the team,” Stinar wrote.
Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report reported Wall held a workout for interested teams in Las Vegas this week.
Stinar’s point about Chicago’s passing rings true, and even at this point in his career, Wall would undoubtedly serve as a solid facilitator off the bench for the Bulls.
The only question is, would he accept a role in Chicago as a third-string point guard behind Carter and White? Because that’s likely what his role would be. If he’d be OK with that, it could be a low-risk, high-reward move for the Bulls.
