I forgot to add Mirotic in that. Gobert has been injured, so Lyles has gotten more minutes. He was kind of on the verge of falling out of the rotation. It's hard to see any rookie big outside of the elite rookies getting minutes with the Bulls.

What if Rudy makes the kind of offensive progression that Favors has made? ? ?
Granted, he's older than Faves was when he got to the Jazz, but both guys came to Utah as raw, athletic, defensively strong, offensively challenged big men.
Rudy is the epitome of defensive anchor and Derrick is better as a bruising ***-kicking power forward.
Derrick looks amazing because he's been working his *** off for 6 years to get better. The improvements have been incremental at times, but the overall package is exciting now that it's starting to come together. I'm way more interested in where they will both be in terms of development 3 years from now.
Sit back and enjoy the ride. It's going to be effing awesome! Just need our other starters to play better than Lyles, Hood and Neto have this far.
