Chicago won a tight preseason clash with Cleveland, riding Trey Jones’s two-way leadership (10 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals) and Io Dosunmu’s 16-point burst to balance aGuard-heavy attack. Josh Giddy flashed playmaking late but too many early reads and turnovers kept the Cavs in striking distance, underscoring the risk-reward of Chicago’s guard-heavy approach. Okoro and Collins injected defense and short-roll offense, while injuries to Kobe White and Herder opened the door for depth tests as Donovan Donovan pressed ball security and pace.

Okoro’s perimeter defense and Collins’s steady rim work offered a contrasting floor, while the Bulls chased a two-ball-handler look to keep pace—Giddy paired with Jones or Dosunmu in transition. Williams energy and Carter’s readiness added juice, hinting at a versatile, two-way guard rotation. The injury updates and ongoing turnover concerns loom as the rotation takes shape ahead of opening night.
