But is this just a Windy City Bulls development move, or could Sellers push for real minutes if the Bulls’ roster stays in transition?The Chicago Bulls are adding more size, toughness, and rebounding to the organization as Arizona forward Tobe Awaka has reportedly signed a two-way deal with Chicago, per 247Sports. On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down what Awaka brings to the Bulls, why his physical profile matters, and how this signing fits into Chicago’s new direction after the NBA Draft.Awaka gives the Bulls a hard-nosed frontcourt piece who can rebound, finish inside, bring energy, and compete defensively.
