🐂🔥 The Chicago Bulls finally have a roster that makes sense — but who gets the ball when the game is on the line?
On today’s Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down one of the biggest unanswered questions for Tiago Splitter: who is the Bulls’ closer? Josh Giddey is the best organizer, Norman Powell is the most proven scorer, Matas Buzelis needs late-game creation reps, Caleb Wilson has the highest long-term ceiling, and Nic Claxton fits more as a screener, roller, and interior finisher. The Bulls may fit for 43 minutes, but the final five minutes are a different test.
Haize also dives into Bryson Graham’s SLAP philosophy — size, length, athleticism, and physicality — and asks the question Bulls fans can’t ignore: should the acronym really be SLAPS, with shooting added to the formula? Chicago has added long, athletic, physical players like Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, and Nic Claxton, but the roster still has real spacing questions if too many non-shooters share the floor.
Plus, could recently available big man Johni Broome be a sneaky Bulls target? Broome brings rebounding, passing, physicality, G League production, and a low-cost contract — but Chicago already has a crowded frontcourt and a bigger need for shooting and guard-wing depth.
