Going back to the preseason, Billy Donovan has been talking about the Bulls’ efforts to bring a more aggressive style of play out of their 2020 fourth overall pick, Patrick Williams.

After demoting him from the starting five for Javonte Green, Donovan was confident that Williams’ new role wouldn’t have a negative effect on developing that aggressiveness. Either way, we’ll have to wait to see.

His new role was paused when Green suffered a mildly bruised right knee in the Bulls’ 119-111 loss to the Warriors, putting Williams back in the starting lineup in the team’s 110-101 loss to the Kings and again Wednesday night against the Wizards.
