Just when it seemed like he was done in Chicago for good, Patrick Williams is getting another chance to prove to the Bulls he belongs.
Williams, the fourth-overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, signed a five-year, $90 million contract extension in June of 2024, just before he was set to enter restricted free agency.
Bulls Executive VP of Basketball Operations Arturas Karnisovas felt this was a necessary move after Williams missed 115 games over his first four NBA seasons and averaged 9.7 points and 4.2 rebounds.
Since receiving that deal, the former Florida State standout has done nothing but underwhelm some more.
