The Bulls provided the stone and gravel years ago.
Heck, they even plowed it, put the cement over it and painted in the lines of the runway for Patrick Williams. Lights, a tower, a plethora of workers waving those ground crew flags, the whole shebang.
All Williams was asked to do was take off.
Heading into Season No. 6 for the former No. 4 overall pick? The plane is still sitting there grounded and the runway is in bad shape.
That’s why as the Bulls finished off the second game of the preseason on Thursday with a 119-112 win over the Cavaliers, Williams was discussed in a media session with coach Billy Donovan but not dwelled on.
