What I liked about the kid is when he was in the G league he got better and better each month and his stats reflect that. This kid can play and to pair him with Cooper would be fucking scary!!!!!

Winning habits ... That's why we were trying to trade LaVine and keep DeRozan ... because Debo was building the Bulls Culture and work ethic with the young players ... and Zach is just interested in Zach

Even tho he’s in a big boy league , you gotta be careful what you say, he’s still a kid lol so saying “your stroke is pure” is something he’s going to make fun of 😂😂
