There’s a handful of players that Chicago Bulls fans will have their eyes glued to during the preseason, but five can really stick out the rest of the way.
The Chicago Bulls are already two games into their 2019 preseason schedule. On Oct. 7, the Bulls held strong against the Milwaukee Bucks, but ultimately fell short by a final score of 122-112 at home at the United Center.
In their second game of this five-game slate during the preseason, the Bulls fell short to the Pelicans by the final score of 127-125. It took a huge run from the rookie sensation forward and reigning No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick Zion Williamson and the Pelicans in the fourth quarter to knock off head coach Jim Boylen and the Bulls.
But there’s still three important preseason games on tap for the Bulls after two difficult defeats. Granted there was a lot to be proud of from those two efforts against the Pelicans and the Bucks. Next up for the Bulls is an Oct. 10 road battle against the Indiana Pacers at Banker’s Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
With those two aforementioned games now in the books, what should fans expect from this Bulls team moving forward? Two close games could make way for a couple of wins that would give the Bulls momentum heading into the regular season slate, which begins on Oct. 23 on the road against the Eastern Conference foe Charlotte Hornets.
Here’s a look at the five most important players to watch for the Chicago Bulls through the 2019 preseason slate for the remaining four games.
