This is the Spurs opponents’ collective shot chart with Victor Wembanyama on the floor. As you’d expect, they’re abysmal at the rim playing against him.
Red = above average
Blue = below average

One reason the Bulls’ bench thrives: they actually shoot threes.
Chicago Bulls players three-point attempts per 100 team possessions.

The Chicago Bulls starters (Giddey, Jones, Okoro, Buzelis, Vucevic) have played 160 non garbage time possessions.
-13.1 Net Rating (terrible)
102.5 Offensive Rating (abysmal)
Offensive lineups take about ~550 possessions together to "stabilize" so a small sample, but Bulls could use Coby White
