The Chicago Bulls are off and running, posting a 17-8 record and currently sitting at the number two seed in the East just over a quarter way through the season.
Things are going as planned. DeMar DeRozen and Zach LaVine are gelling. Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso are the models of consistency on both ends of the court. Meanwhile, Nikola Vucevic is rounding back into All-Star form.
