Chicago Bulls: 5 big men from the NBA playoffs to target in free agency
By Ryan Heckman
Free agent big men from NBA Playoffs the Chicago Bulls should target: Thomas Bryant, Denver Nuggets
Type: Unrestricted
2022-2023 regular season stats (both LAL and DEN): 18.3 minutes, 9.8 points (62.3 percent shooting), 5.7 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 blocks, 0.3 steals
Another big man that Bulls fans may not be familiar with, who will be available this offseason, is current Denver Nuggets veteran Thomas Bryant. The 6-foot-10 forward/center has five years of experience in the league, but not many fans have heard of him.
Bryant is more of an under-the-radar type that comes to play every night, and does what’s asked of him. He’s certainly the type of player the Bulls would love to have within their rotation, giving them some solid bench minutes.
One of the things he brings to the table, that not every big man on this list does, is the three ball. This past season, Bryant shot it at a 44 percent clip. He doesn’t get the opportunity to take many, but he should absolutely take more if he signed in Chicago.
Bryant will turn just 26 years old this summer and is a perfect target for the Bulls, who will need to revamp their depth in the front court.
