    Good. He’s a great versatile piece for us.

    I think he should also pick up some food in the off-season and add like 10-15 lbs

    Great bench guy and valuable role player with tons of energy and athleticism – I feel he has a higher ceiling than he has shown to date too.

    I hate how this is said about literally every role player, but this dude does NOT get the credit he deserves. He is the ultimate team player and proved as much many times.

    He gets taken in and out of rotation constantly, has long stretches where he is burried on the bench but doesn’t say a word, comes in as an absolute pro and plays hard everytime he is called upon, does the dirty work like guarding bigs and rebound, things he is not supposed to do but our team needs.

    Also, who can forget him coming back early from a broken finger when everyone was out with covid. He could barely grab the ball without clutching his hand but sacrificed his body just to help our team, then happily went back to the bench once everyone was healthy again.

    He is welcome back with open arms.

    DJJ is much better than the league gives him credit for. Glad to hear he’ll be back.

    Fantastic. This dude and his freakish hops made the mediocre Bulls season that much more enjoyable. Let’s hear it for our backup center!

    DJJ can drop some of the nastiest dunks at the most unexpected moments, lets fucking go

    Dude hustled so much this year man, dude was great at driving

    Will Donovan play him and PW more together with a true center? If the Bulls keep this team largely together, I’m doubting they will have the cap space to be able to add a large talented wing so you have to try to see if your largest forwards can play together more than just small ball lineups (where DJJ is the center) or the team will get trucked over and out rebounded like they were this year.

    That would be great if he went on a Giannis diet and workout regimen to bulk up.
