OPJ: A new year, a new start

After a season that was cut short, Otto Porter Jr is back to full health and feels ready to do whatever is asked of him this season to elevate the Bulls play.

It's almost as if Otto Porter Jr. is a living palindrome, which is a word or phrase that's the same backward or forward. Because we never seemed to know whether Porter was coming or going. The 6-8 versatile swingman was moving forward when he came to the Bulls for Bobby Portis and Jabari Parker in February 2019.

The Bulls quickly played their best that season thanks in large part to Porter with 37 and 31-points games in a 7-5 stretch and shooting 49 percent on threes with the Bulls.
