Heading into the summer, it was clear the Chicago Bulls had a few holes to fill. Arturas Karnisovas made it clear that he didn’t want to reset the roster, and instead, the Bulls set course for a push forward rather than a step back. And 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 three-point shooting and defense, but Chicago could still use some guard depth. Carter is a great get for them and bringing back Coby White was a good move, too, but adding another point guard to the roster would be helpful.
Well, maybe 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 that 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 okay with that, then it could be a low-risk, high-reward for the Bulls.
