During the preseason, Billy Donovan tried several formulas at the position of strong winger, in particular by giving a chance to Javonte Green. The latter, despite his small size (1m93) for this position, had shone with his energy and intensity, to the point of considering starting the regular season among the holders.
Finally, the Bulls coach decided to leave patrick williams in the major five. Even if he struggles to impose himself, the interior has been a starter since his arrival in the NBA, his first year like last year, during the playoffs against the Bucks.
But after a largely truncated season (only 17 matches played) due to a left wrist injury, the 4th choice of the 2020 Draft must now do violence and prove that he has the level of a holder. Because Billy Donovan allows himself the choice to change his mind during the exercise.
“Patrick may be among the substitutes and Javonte integrated into the major five”warns the coach for NBC Sports. “I don’t care so much about the starters, but above all about how they are replaced, who comes off the bench. If you want to play nine or ten players, you have to watch all the matches and look for the right rotations and the right combinations of players. »
