The Chicago Bulls aren't the first team that comes to mind when you talk about title contenders out of the Eastern Conference. However, they have one of the more exciting young cores the league has to offer. And Head coach Jim Boylen is still sorting out what to do with his starting lineup.
One of the big decisions he has to make is the man he'll place at the point guard position. He still doesn't have a permanent fixture at the point with the season only weeks away from starting. However, Boylen revealed to K.C. Johnson that it's only a matter of time before he finds the most suitable player for his offense.
Jim Boylen said starting PG decision won’t take all preseason. “That day is coming,” he said.

He has a couple of exciting options on his roster. The decision may boil down between Kris Dunn and Tomas Satoransky. Dunn has been the more impressive PG stat-wise, averaging 11.3 points and 6.0 assists in 46 games for the Bulls. Satoransky doesn't fall behind with his averages of 8.9 points and 5.0 assists last year with the Washington Wizards. Moreover, Tomas' partnership with Zach Levine over the preseason has got fans excited over the prospect of them starting throughout the season.
Whoever he decides to start at the point would have to be willing to run. The Bulls played a fast-paced game against the Milwaukee Bucks and put on a battling performance against their Wisconsin neighbors. They also played well against the New Orleans Pelicans, even leading the game at one point. However, the bench gave up a big lead as Zion Williamson put on a show for the entire league to see.
There's pressure on whoever gets the starting job to keep the tempo up for these young Bulls. However, there's little to no doubt that fans will see exciting basketball from this team regardless of who gets picked as the starting point guard.
