Some #Bulls thoughts at the end of the pre-season:

1. Suddenly, the Lauri Markkanen from two years ago appears. 22 points on over 50% shooting and 40% from 3? We'll take it. Now, which Lauri shows up in the regular season?
2. Zach LaVine looked like he was simultaneously coasting and on a mission this preseason. 20 effortless points tonight on 50% shooting. He's going to be a problem for other teams. #Bulls have a star on their hands
3. Patrick Williams was a little quieter tonight, but he didn't make many mistakes. The rookie has a long way to go, but he really showed strong promise this preseason for the #Bulls
4. Coby White's scoring wasn't there tonight, but he moved the ball well for the #Bulls, he was making passes he was missing in game one, and that's promising for fans wanting him to be more of a distributor. Next step is to stop getting so deep in the lane and losing the ball
5. WCJ almost had a quiet triple double. You probably need more than 8 points from your former 7th overall pick, but this was the #Bulls center's best game of the preseason and it's not close
6. Chandler Hutchison hit two threes today and his form didn't even look atrocious. I don't expect that to be a regular part of his repertoire, but if he can force teams to respect it, he can be a great bench piece for the #Bulls
7. Otto Porter didn't have his shot tonight, but he impacted the game nonetheless. 8 rebounds in 20 minutes. Is his spot off the bench? I'm still not convinced P Williams is ready to start for the #Bulls in the regular season, but we will see
8. Simisola Shittu for MVP #Bulls
9. @RyArch15 please cut your hair. Or don't. I might like it. I'm conflicted. #Bulls
