This is the Chicago Bulls biggest question they need to answer

Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley wrote an article discussing each NBA team’s biggest question they need to answer. For the Bulls, it was figuring out which guards they would keep. Below is what Buckley wrote:

“It took the Bulls way too long to pull the plug on their last core, but at least they held nothing back once they finally did. They sent most recognizable faces packing and replaced them with a pile of second-round picks and a number of new players. But, uh, why are so many of the newbies guards?

“Collin Sexton, Jaden Ivey, Anfernee Simons and Rob Dillingham collectively crowded the backcourt upon their arrival. Only so many can be part of the long-term plans, and honestly, at least a few won’t even be a part of the near-future plans, as Dillingham is the only member of that quartet not ticketed for free agency after this season.

“So, clearly they aren’t all keepers, but you’d presume at least a couple are or could be held in that regard, right? Is it as simple as keeping the two youngest, Ivey (a restricted free agent if he gets a qualifying offer) and Dillingham (who could have two more seasons on his rookie deal)? Or is there a chance for Sexton and/or Simons to play their way up the pecking order?”

Chicago can let one or two of these guards go this offseason and still have a young core of backcourt players to pair with Josh Giddey. It will be interesting to see who the front office wants to keep going into next season.
