X factor #2: Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams are for real
This is a big year for Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Patrick Williams, who should all have more featured roles.
White has always been a second or third option in the Bulls’ offense, but he should get more shots now that DeMar DeRozan is gone. If he makes another leap into All-Star consideration, he’ll somewhat offset the loss of DeRozan and give the Bulls a more dynamic offense.
Patrick WIlliams got the big contract and now it is time to earn it, as the Bulls need him to not only stay healthy, but prove he can do more than score 10 points a game, which is pretty much what he’s done every year he’s been in the league.
Is Ayo Dosunmu ready to assume the role of the Bulls’ best perimeter defender? Can he be their next Caruso but with a more dynamic offensive game?
If these three players make leaps, the Bulls could surprise some people.
