Bulls vs. Pacers Wrap Up

The Bulls suited up against the Indiana Pacers in their second summer league game yesterday.  Top pick Derrick Rose fared better overall than in his first contest, scoring nine points, grabbing six rebounds and dishing 7 assists.  Rose doesn’t seem to be too focused on scoring, but hasn’t put the ball in the basket much when he has tried, hitting just two of nine from the field yesterday.  Bulls fans should be encouraged by his overall stat line, as Rose is showing his versatility.  He should probably assert himself a little more on the offensive end, but that will come with time.  He also added three steals.

Demetris Nichols added 16 points, while Tyrus Thomas had 17 and journeyman Keith Langford dropped 19.  The Bulls pulled out the win after posting 38 points in the fourth quarter, really impressive considering summer league periods are only 10 minutes.  Last year’s first round pick Joakim Noah posted another dud of a game with just four points and three rebounds.  Noah, Thomas and Rose are going to be getting the most playing time during the regular season, so these are the three guys to really keep an eye on.  The Bulls will face the Magic in today’s summer league game.
