Bulls Notes: Giddey, Okoro, Claxton, Essengue, Rotation
Josh Giddey is “painfully aware” of his sluggish start to the season, writes Jeff Agrest of The Chicago Sun-Times. Through eight games, the Bulls’ starting point guard had averaged 9.3 points, 7.6 assists and 4.6 in 27.3 minutes per contest, with a subpar shooting line of .389/.286/.667.
“I’ve probably played the worst eight games that I’ve played in my career, in terms of the stretch,” he said last week after practice.
Giddey, who averaged 17.0 PPG, 9.1 APG and 8.3 RPG on .448/.364/.763 shooting in 54 appearances (32.1 MPG) last season, had his best game of 2026/27 on Sunday, finishing with 19 points (on 7-of-12 shooting), 15 assists and seven rebounds in 34 minutes.
