The 2018-19 Chicago Bulls don't have any excuses as I have told many before when its time to "Play for Pay" there are no excuses. Well the Bulls have more medical news and this is not good at all as both the Bulls Depth takes another hit as does the Bulls Bench Mob.

With both Lauri Markkanen and Bobby Portis still out  former Michigan State Spartans All-American and Bulls 1st rounder SF Denzel Valentine through reports has been ruled out indefinitely and heading towards season-ending Ankle Surgery.

What does all this mean for the Bulls well from a versatility stand point Valentine brings more of that than anyone on that Bulls current roster. He would have afforded Bulls lead man the"Mayor of the Madhouse" Fred Hoiberg to play both Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen off the Spalding orange and just score while #45 Valentine handles all ball-handling chores.

That Bulls Bench Mob or 2nd unit would have had more of a punch with Denzel available and now the Bulls might look to the G-League for help or make a move on that roster. II would personally wait for both Lauri and Bobby to get back into the fold to see what I need but Valentine's Versatility will be hard to match and find.

Let's take a look at the Bulls most Versatile Players currently on that Roster:

SG-Shooting Guard SF- Small Forward PTF- Point Forward PF-Power Forward STF-Stretch-Forward

* denotes Not Active
^ denotes Season-Ending Injury

#45 SF/PTF Denzel Valentine*^
#24  PF/STF Lauri Markkanen*
#32 PG/SG Kris Dunn*
#5 PF.STF Bobby Portis*

All four of these players are in the Top 8 in that Bulls Rotation an now you see why Zach "Trampoline" LaVine has to go through "theatrics" and sometimes an out of body experience to keep the "West Side Story Report" flowing...ridiculous but better days are ahead Bulls Nation trust me on that!
