The camaraderie among participants is palpable. It's like being among friends, albeit virtual ones.😛
Legacy??? 😂🤦🏻♂️
What did you mean Billy Donovan coaching legacy
If he's such a promising coach, he shouldn't have come to the Bulls where his daddy works to get a coaching job.
Billy Sucks!! What legacy???
Philips will definitely be in the rotation any defensive type player will be in rotation regardless thats a fact 💯 we gonna have a bench mob again for sure 💯 very deep bench currently at least unless there is more trades made before the season starts
Buzelis definitely gonna be in the conversation for rookie of the year if not win it for sure no question and them 2 brony and edey please tell me thats a joke bc there definitely way better and further up players by miles in Reed Sheppard or the number 1 pick I can't think of his name but he's a baller too TSJ knect idk there's a lot way before them the list goes on and it's not even close clinging, castle, Carter should I go on lol 😉
The BDIII decision was the first tangible move that resonates with AK's reference to re-building a "program" –
I was skeptical on the phrasing initially but the reset is clearly bigger than just the roster alone.
All for sink/swim for BDIII but they should also not run from the moment to create more synergy in the bldg.
