Huge massive stat over the last four games.

This season, the Bulls have averaged 287 passes made, good for 11th in the league, and 44.5 potential assists, good for 21st in the league.

In the last four games for every team, the Bulls have averaged 323 passes!! That beats the next closest team by a full 12 passes. This has led to more potential assists as well going up to 50.5, good for 6th in the league.

Now, this fits the eye test. The Bulls are really moving the ball, making the extra pass, and playing team basketball. Now, none of this means anything if it hasn't led to an offensive uptick, right? Playing team basketball could just be a side effect of not having anyone who can score :), though the potential assists are meaningful. The Bulls on the season are a 110.5 ORtg, good for 25th in the league. Last 4 games? 118.1, good for 11th in the league over that stretch, and if they could maintain it, would be top 5 in the league.

They need to keep playing this brand of basketball! #tradeZachLaVine

If Pop doesn't like Tre Jones, I'd take him.

I'd say we should trade for him but Popovich will apparently just waive these guys now, so we just have to wait.
