Here’s the latest Chicago Bulls news following an Oct. 28 road win over the Memphis Grizzlies, including the team’s new unique point guard duo, the Bulls shooting their way to a new franchise record, and is Nikola Vucevic’s new 3-point stroke for real?<\/p>\n

Josh Giddey had his best game in a Bulls uniform in the team’s comeback win in Memphis. He finished with 12 points, 13 rebounds, eight assists and only two turnovers. He added a block and a steal, went 2-of-4 from three and ended the night as a +11.<\/p>\n

That’s Giddey at his best – approaching a triple-double, not turning the ball over and shooting well from deep.<\/p>\n

Lonzo Ball had six points on 2-of-4 shooting from three. He added six assists and was a team-high +16. He also bypassed his minutes restriction by playing 18 off the bench.<\/p>\n

Giddey is 6-foot-8 and a flashy passer, while Ball is 6-foot-6 and, even after his long injury absence, remains a knockdown 3-point shooter and solid defender. Both have high basketball IQs.<\/p>\n

The duo gives head coach Billy Donovan multiple options in the backcourt but with length, intelligence and someone to run the offense at all times.<\/p>\n

Bulls set new franchise record for 3-pointers made in a game<\/h2>\n

Chicago has lived and died by the three through four games this season.<\/p>\n

In an upset win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Oct. 25, the Bulls were 21-of-47 (44.7 percent) from deep, and in last night’s win, set a franchise record by making 25 threes.<\/p>\n

Chicago was 25-of-53 overall from beyond the arc. Zach LaVine and Coby White each had five triples, but six players knocked down at least two.<\/p>\n

Over the course of his 12-plus seasons, Vucevic is a 34.3 percent shooter from deep on a career average of 2.5 attempts. His best season came in 2020-21 when he connected on 40 percent of his 6.3 triples between the Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n

Through four games this season, the 34-year-old is hitting 52.4 percent from three on 5.3 attempts per game.<\/p>\n

It’s an incredibly small sample size, but if the Bulls’ starting center can become a legitimate stretch five with the way Donovan wants to spread the floor and fire up threes, Vucevic becomes a much more valuable player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
