How far do the Chicago Bulls need to go to ensure Patrick Williams has all the runway he needs to take off next season?
“It…seems apparent that Williams isn’t a power forward, that the Bulls badly need one, and the small forward spot has to be opened next season for Williams, who has become maybe the team’s best spot-up shooter and shown possibilities for making plays off the dribble from the wing,” argued Sam Smith of NBA.com.
“He’s been toggled between positions, so you can see he’s been confused what to be. I think now he knows who he is and what he should be, and with a summer to concentrate on that he could be much improved next season. It’s up to the Bulls to clear the position for him.”
“The Chicago Bulls are on the brink of a rebuild. They should be, anyway,” wrote Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report on April 5 citing the Bulls’ regression and Lonzo Ball’s murky future. “What could possibly convince the Bulls—and 33-year-old DeMar DeRozan for that matter—that things will be any different next season?”
Chicago’s big three has seen the most minutes of any trio this season, per NBA.com lineup data, and their net rating is minus-0.5 regardless of the win over the Dallas Mavericks. This coming offseason could be the time for a change in direction.
The front office underestimated playing him out of position due to the roster moves they made.@GoldenGlove
Pat Williams has all of the potential in the world it oozes out when he's playing carefree. I just don't he will reach the player he could be and put it all together
