But the Bulls lacked a good point guard in their rotation. While Coby White was initially playing as the primary playmaker, his turnover prone play and his streaky three-point shooting were a serious cause of concern. Ball certainly is the perfect fit for the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls who were heavily linked for a probable trade scenario for Lonzo last season, might go all-in for the second overall pick of the 2017 draft. If they do, they will have two solid All-Stars along-with a solid playmaker in Lonzo.
