5. The Bulls need a point guard badly
Michael Carter-Williams shot 1-for-8 from the field for three points.
Rajon Rondo missed seven of his nine shot attempts and scored just four points.
Jerian Grant had a solid night of 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting in 25 minutes, but that was really the first time in a while where it’s felt like he’s had an impact on the game.
Simply put, the Bulls’ point guard situation is a complete trainwreck.
It feels like a subject that many keep harping on, but seriously … not many teams have a worse situation at the lead guard position on the floor than the Bulls do.
During the game on Thursday, I told my colleague that we were watching the wrong game because Washington point guard Markelle Fultz — the potential No. 1 pick in the 2017 draft — was playing elsewhere.
Washington is 🚮. Markelle Fultz is not.https://t.co/vGkUii6Onl

Watching the current Bulls point guards isn’t fun, but dreaming of Fultz in a Bulls uniform might help? Maybe? I have no idea.
Regardless, he was a much better watch than the Bulls were on Thursday night.
