Bulls are working to better manage Otto Porter’s minutes

It was only a 10-game sample, but the Otto Porter Jr. presence couldn’t be overlooked.

Acquired from Washington in February, Porter’s impact was immediate as the Bulls went 7-3 in his first 10 games, including wins over Philadelphia, Boston and Brooklyn.

The winning subsided as March went on, and then Porter was on the shelf with several nagging injuries, last playing in Sacramento on March 17.

So of course the Bulls have put a plan in place to make Porter more available, as well as manage his minutes in a smarter way. The days of 55 minutes in a four-overtime win in Atlanta won’t be happening anytime soon.
