What Bulls Lineups Would You Like To See More?
For the first time all season, Tiago Splitter made a change to the rotation during the Bulls last game. The key changes included Nic Claxton replacing Zach Collins off the bench, Patrick Williams replacing Leonard Miller, and Jordan Hawkins replacing Buddy Hield. While the lineup results were mixed, it was great to see some new skill sets in the rotation. Patrick Williams brought a perimeter defensive presence the Bulls haven't really had outside of Okoro. Claxton was making people's lives more difficult around the rim. Hawkins wasn't afraid to shoot it from anywhere.
Chicago's been clunky, but they have a lot of good skillsets they can mix and match. So my question for the fans is what lineups do Bulls fans want to see moving forward?
Caleb Wilson's shooting since slow start:
Interesting stat I found, Caleb Wilson has been a much better three-point shooter over the past three games. Is this sustainable?
Buddy Hield fired up during Celtics game
A video of a fired-up Buddy Hield, who was letting the Bulls hear it after their first-half defensive effort against the Celtics last night:
Inside look at Tiago Splitter & Bulls' scouting
Pretty cool to see this inside access look at the Bulls during the preseason. This video appears to be Tiago Splitter quizzing several of his players on their scouting reports ahead of facing the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 7, when the Bulls won, 124-117.
Noa Essengue making plays
The preseason has been a mixed bag for 2025 No. 12 overall pick Noa Essengue, but he showed some real promise in last night's Bulls win over the Bucks.
In his last two games, Essengue has scored 15 points while shooting 7-of-14 from the field. He's also been a menace on defense, with a steal in each outing. Check out these plays:

What do you notice?
Among the top 10 players with the highest rate of their shot attempts at the rim, there are nine big men and... Tre Jones?
It's so crazy how he's shooting almost 70% at the rim despite being 6-foot-1. Definitely one of the most underrated players in the NBA!
