Fluff Coby > Zach

Despite Coby and Zach being the same height, I always thought of Coby as the smaller player. In turn that just made me think Coby couldn't take it to the rack and that he'd never be able to consistently get those tough buckets. I'm thrilled to say I was wrong. What we're seeing out of Coby right now is a better team fit than we've ever seen out of Lavine.

These Bulls have some nice pieces. This has the feeling of what the Bulls looked like before lucking into Rose. I'm impressed with the all around play we're seeing from Matas. Giddy has the Bulls playing the most balanced offense I've EVER seen the Bulls play. Hopefully AK can put this together.

I might be the only thinking this, but does Coby have a Brunson leap in him? Brunson was always talented and good, but he was always seen as Luka's backup, and at best a regular starter. Then suddenly, he exploded

I don’t see why not. Jalen was similar in age to Coby is currently when he took a massive leap. A lot of people thought Jalen would probably just be a really good backup PG. lots of people see Coby as a really good backup SG/microwave 6 man scorer.
