The Bulls roster has had some changes the last three seasons. Not a ton, but some.
Unfortunately, the reputation hasn’t.
Former coach Fred Hoiberg often talked about how collectively the core needed to handle in-game adversity better, former coach Jim Boylen flat-out called the make-up of the team soft on multiple occasions, and even former vice president of basketball operations John Paxson demanded more from the group in terms of toughness.
So while new coach Billy Donovan wasn’t exactly thrilled with what he saw in Friday’s preseason debut of this 2020-21 team, he’s holding out on passing judgment.
