Josh Giddey returns from hamstring injury, and despite being just one game back with a 6-5 record without him, coach Billy Donovan believes his presence could be a game-changer for the Bulls. Giddey's quick return to action was a testament to his fitness level, as he scored 21 points in under 10 minutes of playing time.
However, it's not just about what Giddey can do individually; it's also about how he impacts those around him. Donovan praises Giddey's ability to "raise the people around him," citing his exceptional passing skills and ability to adapt to new situations. As a potential All-Star, Giddey has shown significant improvement in his shooting and defensive abilities.
But with the Bulls' current roster not exactly overflowing with talent, Giddey's strength lies in feeding his teammates rather than being the primary scorer. Unfortunately for the team, they lack the necessary talent to fully capitalize on Giddey's skills.
Interestingly, coach Donovan notes that Giddey has played at an incredible level since the All-Star break last year, with numbers across both offense and defense showing significant improvement. The Bulls' own Ayo Dosunmu, who picked up a career-high three-point percentage in his most recent game, seems to be benefiting from Giddey's presence.
However, there are concerns on the horizon, particularly regarding Giddey's past shoulder injuries. As he continues to progress as a player, it's crucial for the Bulls' front office to consider ways to improve their roster, given the challenging schedule they have ahead of them in the coming weeks.
With the trade deadline looming, executive vice president Arturas Karnisovas might want to explore options that can help fortify the team and take advantage of Giddey's skills. Despite the road ahead being rocky, with the fourth-toughest remaining schedule in the league, there is optimism that Giddey and his teammates can make a deep run in the playoffs.

The only people for me are the loonies and the lions. 
. The Bulls' lack of talent is a bigger issue than just Giddey's skills. What if he goes down with another injury? 
They should be thinking about making moves before the trade deadline, not relying on him to carry the team single-handedly 
.
But at the same time, they need those surrounding talents to step up their game, like Ayo Dosunmu has been doing lately 
. And yeah, I'm getting a little worried about those shoulder injuries - gotta make sure he's good to go for the stretch run 
. Still, with Coach Donovan guiding them and Giddey on board, there's hope they can ride this momentum and make some noise in the playoffs 
i'm literally on the edge of my seat thinking about what giddy could do for the bulls!!! 
he's like a game-changer, right?! 
but u gotta feel for the team tho, they're kinda stacked with mediocrity atm 
. anywayz i'm def rooting for giddy and the bulls to make a deep run in the playoffs 
... at least for now. I mean, 6-5 record without him is still pretty solid, but when he's playing, they're almost unbeatable 
you can't just ignore that stuff and hope it doesn't come back to bite them mid-season.
. They're facing an insane schedule ahead of them, and Giddey's skills are gonna get wasted if they don't get some support around him 
. Karnisovas needs to be proactive here and bring in some talent to help Giddey shine... otherwise, it's just gonna be a bunch of hype 
.
. If they can keep feeding off each other's strengths, this team might actually be more formidable than people think 
️ for the Bulls. His passing skills are straight fire 
. I'm loving how coach Donovan is trying to build around Giddey, even if the roster isn't perfect 
. But let's be real, we need to see some more talent added to the roster 
. With that crazy tough schedule coming up, I'm hoping the front office will make some savvy moves before the trade deadline 
. Bring on the playoffs! 
The Bulls' lack of depth is really showing right now and if Giddey can't carry them, I don't know what's next... 
. The Bulls are lucky to have him back, especially with their roster not being too stacked 
. I think Giddey's strength is in his passing skills, he's like a conductor out there 
, and it's amazing to see how much his teammates benefit from his presence 
, I'm all for the Bulls making some moves to improve their roster 
. And let's not forget Ayo Dosunmu is on fire 
! I'm low-key thinking the Bulls might make a surprise push for the title 
.
I hope Karnisovas and the front office are looking into adding some depth to the roster so they're not relying too much on one player. They've got a tough schedule coming up, but if everyone stays healthy... 
. they need someone who can elevate their teammates, and Giddey's got that in spades 
. now, about those shoulder injuries... let's hope he stays injury-free for the rest of the season 
. trade deadline can't come soon enough 
But with their schedule looking tougher than ever, it's gotta be a priority for the front office to bolster the roster before the trade deadline.
If they can find someone like that, the Bulls could make some real noise in the playoffs. 
. Arturas needs to do his due diligence, get some decent pieces in for a trade or something
