NEW ORLEANS — Bulls guard Alex Caruso might want to start loading up on the protein bars.
On Sunday, he was matched against Pelicans forward Zion Williamson — all 6-6 and 284 pounds of him. And that’s with a forgiving scale.
On Wednesday, he might be going against 6-11 Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley unless coach Billy Donovan wants to roll out his jumbo lineup.
And then Friday, it might be Caruso against Bucks 6-11 superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
With forward Patrick Williams out for the season because of surgery on his left foot, this is life for the Bulls until forward Torrey Craig recovers from a sprained right knee.
