Bulls look to Josh Giddey to follow Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton blueprint
The Chicago Bulls have stumbled since their strong start, now sitting below .500 after losses to the struggling New Orleans Pelicans, Charlotte Hornets, and most recently, the Indiana Pacers. Chicago opened the season 5-0, a hot start many dismissed as a fluke, and so far, those doubts have proven accurate.
The bright spot for the Bulls remains Josh Giddey, who is performing at an All-Star caliber and putting up near triple-double numbers, averaging 20.5 points, 10 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game.
“That’s who we have to be. We have to be better than the sum of our parts,” Bulls head coach Billy Donovan remarked via ESPN’s Jamal Collier.
The Bulls studied the Pacers, analyzing their roster and playing style, and recognized a potential blueprint for what they could become by following a similar path.
The Bulls using the Pacers’ blueprint
“Everybody sees Indiana play, and the thing that everybody goes to right away is oh, their pace, their pace, their pace. The one thing that Indiana probably doesn’t get enough credit for is yes, they play really, really fast and [Tyrese] Haliburton’s a unique playmaker back there, but the physicality of those guys defensively is where our evolution has to continue,” Donovan continued.
Another Bulls insider drew a direct comparison between Giddey and Haliburton.
“They have Haliburton, who is an All-Star, and they have Siakam,” ESPN’s source said. “If Giddey can develop into an All-Star and be what Hali was, when do we pull the trigger to get our Siakam?”
Bulls sources see clear parallels between Chicago’s roster strategy and Indiana’s blueprint for a contender, but note two major gaps: the Pacers paired their point guard with a true second star and ranked 13th in defensive efficiency last season.
The Bulls, by contrast, struggle on that end, with each starter ranking among the league’s weaker defenders. How the Bulls address this defensive deficiency remains unclear.
They return to action Monday evening against the Orlando Magic.
