Despite being additions to a Chicago Bulls roster that remained mostly intact in the offseason, Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig are eager to embrace the role of vocal leaders.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The best way to identify a team’s weaknesses is to ask its opponents. And after years of facing the Chicago Bulls, newcomers Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig feel comfortable identifying two key areas of improvement. Both players are familiar with the Bulls after Carter played for the Milwaukee Bucks last season and Craig played for the Phoenix Suns. They felt challenged by the team’s defensive pressure and the individual talent of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine.
We just have to be real with one another and honest as we can because it’s going to bring out the best in each one of us.” Part of that lack of edge comes from an offensive hesitancy that Carter hopes to help address — potentially as the starting point guard. Carter felt the Bulls were “reluctant to shoot” last season, an assessment reflected in their league-low 28.9 3-point attempts per game. “They think about it too much instead of just taking what’s there,” Carter said.
