The Bulls got contributions across the board in their preseason finale, a 127-104 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
No 3-pointers in this one, but it remains clear that Drummond is a significant upgrade at the backup center spot from what the Bulls had during a mix-and-match 2021-22.And Dragić looked his crafty veteran self, notably drilling a fall-away midrange jumper, corner 3-pointer and sprinted out to a few transition buckets en route to 13 points and 4 dimes.
Also notable: Donovan said pregame it is a “real possibility” that the Bulls could open the season with a 10-man rotation. He likes the way his second unit players — mainly Dragić, Caruso, Coby White, Drummond and whichever power forward he brings off the bench — have meshed as a collective.The Dragić-Caruso bench backcourt tandem produced plenty of fun transition sequences, particularly in a third quarter the Bulls won 28-20.
Caruso finished with a peak statline: 6 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, shooting 3-for-9 from the field and 0-for-4 from 3.Dosunmu started at point guard for each of the Bulls’ four preseason games, and looks well on track to continue on in Lonzo Ball’s place once the regular season begins. He didn’t wow — with 8 points and 1 assist — but was again steady at both ends, which has become normal for the 22-year-old second-year guard.
That’s all for the Bulls’ exhibition slate. Next up: The regular-opener against the Heat in Miami on Oct. 19.
