Chicago Bulls

’17-18 Record: 27-55
’17-18 Season Series: 1-1
’18-19 Advantage: Jazz

The Chicago Bulls have quickly put together a very nice looking young core that should compete in the Eastern Conference sooner rather than later.

I really love the pairing of Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr in the front court. Bulls fans have got to be thrilled with the young talent on the roster.

They’ll be fun to watch, but I don’t expect playoff basketball from the Bulls just yet. They are still a year or two away, but I do think they’ll make a jump for sure. The Jazz are the better team, but this Bulls team is not going to give up an easy win.
