5 Chicago Bulls players who will benefit from Coby White and Patrick Williams' injury absence at the start of the 2021-22 NBA season

#3 Alex Caruso

Los Angeles Lakers v Utah Jazz

One of the more underrated additions of the Chicago Bulls' impressive offseason was the addition of former Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso. It's no secret that the Chicago front office had a clear vision this summer. They needed to add depth and toughness on the defensive side of the ball. With injuries to both Patrick Williams and Coby White, Caruso could be a player who sees his minutes increase in the Bulls rotation. Caruso is known as an intelligent player who can make life difficult for opposing players with his defensive ability. There's also the potential for Caruso to play off the ball, giving him some versatility in the Chicago backcourt.

#2 DeMar DeRozan

San Antonio Spurs v New Orleans Pelicans

One of the biggest names acquired by the Chicago Bulls this offseason, DeMar DeRozan should be a welcome addition to the roster with his ability to put up big numbers on the offensive side of the ball. DeRozan was asked to carry the load offensively during his time with the San Antonio Spurs. With the injury to Williams, the Bulls could look to have DeRozan potentially be an offensive focal point in specific lineup rotations.

#1 Lonzo Ball

Memphis Grizzlies v New Orleans Pelicans

All eyes will be on Lonzo Ball in Chicago this year as the Bulls finally have themselves an intriguing playmaking guard to run the show. After spending the last couple of years with the New Orleans Pelicans, Lonzo now finds himself in an intriguing situation with a starting lineup that offers serious firepower. With the injury to Coby White, there's going to be a few more minutes that need to be distributed to the players. There's no reason why Lonzo can't take on those minutes, as he's a player who can put his teammates in a position to succeed. After a fresh start in Chicago, you can bet that Lonzo Ball is going to have some new life in his legs for the upcoming year.
