22m | Nov 10, 2026

πŸ‚ The Chicago Bulls benched Buddy Hield and Leonard Miller against Philadelphia. Is Tiago Splitter’s rotation shakeup a step forward, and should Isaac Okoro get a bigger role?

Haize breaks down the Chicago Bulls rotation on Chicago Bulls Central, using lineup analytics through the first nine games to examine the combinations worth testing as Chicago looks to respond to a 1–8 start.

In this episode:

🚨 HIELD & MILLER BENCHED: What their coach’s-decision DNPs mean for Jordan Hawkins, Patrick Williams and the competition for minutes.

πŸ“Š THE OKORO QUESTION: Chicago’s most-used starting group has a -15.7 net rating. A version with Okoro has produced better early results, but its 23-minute sample needs more testing.

πŸ”₯ MATAS BUZELIS’ NEXT STEP: After 19 points against Philadelphia, should Buzelis get more deliberate responsibility in the Bulls’ closing offense alongside Caleb Wilson and Josh Giddey?

πŸ—“οΈ THE NEXT SIX GAMES: What the Bulls need to show against San Antonio, Atlanta, Minnesota, Cleveland, Brooklyn and Washington, and why Haize is setting an ambitious three-win target.

From lineup fit and defensive execution to young-player development, Haize examines what Tiago Splitter can change and what Bulls fans should watch next.

πŸ’¬ Should Okoro start, and who belongs in your closing five?
