As goes Lauri Markkanen, so go the Bulls, and both are struggling

It’s easy to explain 4-10 when it comes down to it.

That’s where the Bulls are currently sitting in the standings after Monday’s 115-101 loss to Milwaukee, and with good reason.

This is an organization void of a Giannis Antetokounmpo. There’s no LeBron James walking through the door of the home locker room at the United Center. They certainly don’t have a “Beard.’’

No, they have a Lauri Markkanen.

And 14 games into the regular season, they really don’t even have him at this point.

The third-year player continued to be more enigma than pillar of the rebuild in the latest loss, finishing with just nine points on 2-for-12 shooting.
