Chicago was too loose and not aggressive enough in dictating the offense.

“Not being on the ball, being too loosey, like, you know, I wanted them to be a little bit more aggressive, dictate the offense instead of just waiting for the offense to attack.”

Williams is getting fewer touches than before in his current role but is doing it well.

“Probably is not, you know, having the same touches that he had before, but with the role that I'm asking him to do, he's doing a good job.”

Powell encourages teammates to take open shots instead of passing them up.

“I'm telling them to shoot the ball... they're passing up shots and things like that, just the reinforcement to give them the confidence to attack or to take the open shot.”

Chicago is looking at a nine to eleven man rotation because eight is impossible at a fast pace.

“So you can expect to have like a nine, ten, eleven rotation. Eight is impossible if you want to play fast.”

Vets will be eased toward normal minutes slowly and will not get them in the first two games.

“I have an idea, you know, how I want to play them, the vets, you know, slowly get them in their normal minutes. It's not going to be the first two games, to be honest.”
