ORLANDO – The Bulls have to continue living by the 95% rule.

They do that and coach Billy Donovan likes their odds night in and night out.

“The reality of it is most of these guys, 95% of the game they are playing without the ball in their hands,” Donovan explained on Friday. “They don’t need to be waiting to get the ball back in their hands. There’s other things they can be doing to impact the game. (Former Bull Alex) Caruso did it for us at a really high level, and I think Isaac (Okoro) will do it for us, but I think for our guys being young too, they have to understand that we don’t have a lot of guys that can play with the ball in their hands and that can make plays, be these elite, high-level scorers.
