On most nights, a 22-point performance and getting 17 shots up would earn Patrick Williams a solid A- on the report card.
At least until the difficulty of the exam is put under a microscope.
When it comes against a guy named Sandro Mamukelashvili, while any of the Milwaukee Bucks that really seem to matter are on the bench watching in street clothes, the grading scale changes. Then add in that the Bulls didn’t play Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan in Tuesday’s preseason finale, and it’s a box score that becomes even less impressive.
Kind of like Williams’ preseason.
