J.E. Skeets

I also like that he played for Greg Popovich, he played for Mike Budenholzer, and he played for Brett Brown.

That means this guy's in the Greg Popovich coaching tree.

And that's a pretty good tree.

Because you got Pop, you got Kerr, Bud, Mike Brown, Ime Udoka.

You can stretch it out farther if you want to as well.

I don't know what he's necessarily going to bring to the Bulls.

Portland was kind of middle of the road everywhere.

14th in defense last season.

20th in offense.

19th in net rating.

They played much slower than the Bulls.

So I think that's going to be interesting.

Portland also pressed a ton.

But they had guys who were...

Good at pressing in Drew Holiday, Tamani Kamara, people who can pick up full court.

I don't know if the Bulls have that.

I also saw Stefano over at the Sporting News mentioned that Tiago Splitter had the worst after timeout plays in the entire season.

That's not super encouraging.

They're also a very low assist team.

He didn't seem to be super creative on the offensive end, despite being a Popovich acolyte.
