The Chicago Bulls aren't exactly a model organization when it comes to roster construction. They're seemingly forever in search of true game-changing talent, but what they've at least collected are several young players with some intriguing traits -- Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White and Dalen Terry among them.
Giddey is now in place as the franchise's future at the point guard position. Matas Buzelis is the closest thing the Bulls have to an eventual superstar. White showed he has the talent to score in bunches at the NBA level. And while Terry may seem out of place among these established starters, he has as much potential two-way versatility as anyone in the organization. Further down the depth chart, Noa Essengue and Julian Phillips are developing prospects with their own mix of unrealized but encouraging skill sets.
Head coach Billy Donovan will be able to mix and match some interesting lineup combinations with this group -- all aged 25 or younger -- but one crew in particular could be more fun than the rest and, most importantly, more effective.
Bulls have a verstaile four-guard lineup waiting to be unelashed
Giddey is a jumbo floor general at 6-foot-8 who's most comfortable running the show and finding open teammates, but he also shot a career-best 37.8 percent from three last season. White became Chicago's go-to scorer after Zach LaVine was traded to Sacramento. Dosunmu is a staunch defender who was having his best offensive campaign last year before his season ended early due to injury.
Terry has only played 170 NBA games and has yet to lock down a rotation spot under Donovan, but his 6-foot-7 wingspan, defensive potential and experience playing point guard are a unique combination.
The 23-year-old has reportedly had an impressive offseason and is primed for a bigger role in 2025-26.
Putting all four guards on the floor together would present opposing defenses -- and offenses -- with some uncomfortable decisions to make.
White (6-foot-5) can score, but he also averaged 5.1 assists in 2023-24 and 4.5 last year. While Giddey is a flashy distributor, he drained 38.4 percent of his catch-and-shoot threes last season. Dosunmu (6-foot-5) can defend an opposing team's best perimeter player but was averaging career highs in points, rebounds and assists through 46 games. What Terry lacks in scoring punch, he makes up for in playmaking and versatility on both ends. At 6-7, he can capably play either guard spot or on the wing.
This group didn't share the floor at all last season, but each player brings a unique skill set that comfortably complements the others. It would be worth the experiment for Donovan to let them run together for spot minutes and see if the quartet can be as successful practically as it sounds theoretically.
