The Chicago Bulls have found Jim Boylen’s replacement. The Chicago Bulls have announced the hiring of new head coach, Billy Donovan. Donovan replaces Jim Boylen who was fired after going 39-84 without making a single playoff appearance.
Billy Donovan parted ways with the Oklahoma City Thunder after spending five years with the organization. Donovan recently finished third in the NBA Coach of the Year voting after leading the Thunder to the playoffs when having a 0.2% chance to make the playoffs at the beginning of the year. Donovan will look to lead the Chicago Bulls back to the NBA Playoffs and look to develop star players like Zach Lavine and Coby White.
My Thoughts
This was a great hire for the Chicago Bulls!
Billy Donovan is one of the best coaches in the NBA in my opinion. He was the Florida mens basketball head coach and lead them to 2 national titles. Donovan I think can help turn this Bulls organization around. There was a lot of players that just did not like Jim Boylen as the head coach, and I feel like Donovan they will want to play hard and want to get some wins.
I expect Zach Lavine to really shine in his offense. He could be an All-Star this upcoming season, but I do think he also needs another piece with him to make this team a playoff team.
