There's 1 way the Bulls can still extract value from Patrick Williams in 2025-26

By this point, Patrick Williams has proven he's not a starting-caliber player in the NBA, but there's still a productive role he can fill for the Chicago Bulls this season: a reserve combo forward.

After five years in the league, it's fair to call the No. 4 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft a bust. Across 276 career games, 211 of them starts, Williams has posted single-digit averages of 9.6 points and 4.1 rebounds. He's become a solid three-point shooter, connecting on 39.2 percent of his 3.1 triples per game, but hasn't developed much else.
