Episode Details

The Tiago Splitter era is officially underway in Chicago, and Bulls fans are already asking the biggest question: what does this mean for the roster? 🐂🔥

Haize and Pat The Designer break down the immediate impact of the Bulls' new head coach and which players could benefit the most from Splitter's player-development focused approach.

First, the guys discuss Matas Buzelis, arguably the most important young player on the roster. Could Splitter's background in player development be exactly what Matas needs to take the next step toward becoming a franchise cornerstone? What areas of his game could improve the fastest under Chicago's new head coach? 👀🏀

Next, the focus shifts to Josh Giddey. After showing flashes of being one of the Bulls' most dynamic playmakers, can Splitter unlock another level in Giddey's game? The guys examine how Splitter's offensive philosophy, development track record, and emphasis on ball movement could maximize Giddey's strengths while helping improve his weaknesses. 📈🔥

Plus, every coaching change brings roster consequences. Haize and Pat identify the players who may find themselves on the chopping block as Bryson Graham and Tiago Splitter begin shaping the roster in their vision. Which veterans could be moved? Which young players are fighting for their future in Chicago? And who appears safest as the Bulls continue their rebuild?
