The Chicago Bulls have reportedly hired former Houston Rockets assistant Roy Rogers to join head coach Jim Boylen's staff in the Windy City, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Rogers has agreed to a three-year deal to join the Bulls as an assistant coach. He spent the last three seasons on Mike D'Antoni's staff in Houston. Rogers has also worked with the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons.

K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune is reporting that Rogers had an “impressive” interview with the Bulls last week. Rogers' three-year deal lines up with the extension that Boylen signed in May.
The Bulls have the seventh overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Chicago won 22 games in 2018-19. They finished in the 13th spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The Bulls roster is headlined by shooting guard Zach LaVine, small forward Otto Porter Jr., power forward Lauri Markkanen and center Wendell Carter Jr.
Chicago is supposedly looking to upgrade its point guard position this summer either in the draft or free agency. The Bulls have been disappointed with the lack of improvement by Kris Dunn, who the Bulls acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Jimmy Butler trade back in the summer of 2017.
