Walt Lemon Jr. was speaking after the Bulls Wednesday finished their ill-fated 2018-19 NBA season with a 125-109 loss to a legion of Philadelphia 76ers backups, the Bulls closing with a 22-60 record. Lemon in his sixth game with the Bulls out of the G-league led the team with 20 points, though his view on the NBA could be a template for the Bulls.
They're farther away than they'd like to be, but have the chance to be much closer than the record suggests.
"The pace is different," Lemon said about his first regular play in the NBA.
