Chicago at Charlotte

The Chicago Bulls have a roster full of mostly unproven young players so the optimism is high for the long run. For now, however, this team is going to have some long losing stretches - much like a year ago. Charlotte will begin a new era, post-Kemba Walker. Chicago boasts Guard Zach LaVine, who posted 23.7 points per game last season but the Bills have a long way to go after a 60-loss season last year. Charlotte may get more than they bargained for in Terry Rozier who will finally get a chance to display his full talent in Charlotte. The Bulls may mature as the season progresses, but early on they will take their lumps, especially on the road. Play on Charlotte.
