Bulls roster is not an easy fix for Billy Donovan

Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. is still trying to understand his spacing on drop defense — a scheme he admittedly never played before.
Guard Coby White is still getting confused by his defensive checklist on pick-and-rolls.
Forward Lauri Markkanen, in his fourth NBA season, is still getting comfortable in the post.
Patrick Williams? The 19-year-old rookie forward is still trying to figure out the easiest route to the Advocate Center through Chicago traffic each morning.
These are the realities that coach Billy Donovan and his staff are working through.
College one-and-dones have been flooding into the league for years, but they seem to be coming less and less prepared, given what may be the largest style divide ever between the college game and the NBA. Sure, there are exceptions such as Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and Trae Young, who bring uncommon size, athleticism or shooting. But most one-and-done draft picks are more like Carter or White. And the Bulls have used their last four drafts to load up on them.
