Patrick Williams shares thoughts on long-term future with Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have gotten off to a rocky start this season, going 3-5 through their first eight games of the year. From a players-only meeting after their first game to multiple 20-point blowout losses, the Bulls haven’t been able to string together any semblance of consistency.

Chicago has even made a starting lineup change, swapping out Patrick Williams for Torrey Craig at the power forward position. Williams has struggled to begin the year, and it’s an ill-timed downswing, considering he’s going to be a restricted free agent next summer. The 22-year-old hasn’t quite lived up to expectations thus far, but the Bulls still like him.

Head coach Billy Donovan recently expressed the Bulls’ desire to keep Williams around long-term, and Williams followed up that statement by reciprocating the feeling.

If the Bulls want to reach their ceiling, they need Williams to reach his.
