I may have jumped the gun a bit by calling Ryan Arcidiacono “the Bull’s best point guard”. I still think he and Antonio Blakeney (king of chuckers) make a great backcourt tandem, if not in pure skill at least in fit. They’ve probably dominated their share of G-League games together, at least. You can assume.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t think Arcidiacono is really awesome or the handsomest man in the NBA. I definitely still think those things. It’s just, you know, maybe he’s not that good yet. Maybe I’m just biased towards dudes who look like me (which, in case you care, is like a 6’4″ adonis with big muscles) and who have really pure jumpers (also like me).
Although now that I look at the Bulls roster, I’m going to go back on my statement that he maybe isn’t the Bulls best point guard. I’m thinking maybe he is now. I’m not going to go into detail on how he’s better than the pupu platter of sub-par point-guardery that resides in Chicago, mostly out of respect to Bulls fans (stay strong). But there’s a reason he got the start tonight, right? Because the coaches felt he gave them the best chance to win. And they were right, because they absolutely did win this game.
