7 Bulls predictions for 2022-23 NBA season

There are bold predictions and there are educated guesses. 7 Bulls predictions for 2022-23 NBA season are very bold.

Zach LaVine will make his third straight All-Star team. La Vine is a polarizing player and has received a contract extension worth $215 million.

Ayo Dosunmu will start more games at point guard than Lonzo Ball this season. Ball hasn't played competitively since January. Even if he does return, he could do so off the bench.

Caruso played in 41 games during his first season with the Bulls. He played 64 of 71 games in the pandemic-shortened season of 2019-20 with Lakers.

DeMar DeRozan's scoring average will drop, while Nikola Vučević's will rise. DeMar posted a career-high average of 27.9 points during his first season with the Bulls. Vuçevic sacrificed more than any player last season and delivered a lights-out preseason.

Goran Dragić and Andre Drummond will be shrewd signings for the Bulls. They will solidify the second unit and allow Donovan to use DeRozan more judiciously.

The Bulls will finish 44-38 and seventh in the Eastern Conference. They will start the season without Ball. The Bulls won 46 games last season. They'll win the automatic playoff berth but lose in first round to the Bucks again.

Billy Donovan will get a contract extension beyond the 2023-24 season. The partnership between management and Donovan remains rock solid. Donovan's reputation as a players' coach resonates with veterans like LaVine and DeRozan.
