Billy Donovan admittedly doesn’t know what Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey or Coby White are “going to look like four years from now.”

A player like Buzelis could be a perennial All-Star and the face of the Bulls franchise by then. Giddey could be a nightly triple-double. White? An elite guard who continues to push up on the ceiling.

That’s the hope for the coach as he is set to tip-off Year 6 in his current chair on Wednesday when Detroit visits the United Center.

The reality?

White is sidelined with a strained right calf for at least the next two weeks, Giddey has to become a consistent player, and Buzelis just turned the legal drinking age.
