Bulls face tough schedule as Giddey's usage rate declines

The Chicago Bulls are navigating a challenging schedule as they start the season with a decrease in Josh Giddey's usage rate to 16.2 percent. Despite Giddey's decline in personal scoring, the team's offensive performance has improved, with seven players scoring in double figures during a recent loss to the Knicks. Coach Tiago Splitter noted the importance of ball movement and a shared scoring load for team identity moving forward. Giddey came close to a triple-double in the game with 10 points, 11 assists, and 8 rebounds, showing signs of adaptability in his role. With tougher opponents on the horizon, the Bulls aim to establish their new playing style as they build toward November.
