Being aggressive offensively against Denver on Thursday was a good first step for Alex Caruso as his coaching staff tries to change his mentality.

Bulls guard Alex Caruso admits he hasn’t fully embraced his new role yet.

In his mind, he is a predator defensively, looking to ruin the evening for opposing offenses. The hunter, not the hunted.

But for coach Billy Donovan’s new-look offense to reach the level of efficiency it must, Caruso has to change his mentality — or at least alter it a bit. He must be willing to shoot first on the offensive end and ask questions later.
