CHICAGO (AP) — DeMar DeRozan sees big potential for the Chicago Bulls. They are counting on the high-scoring forward and fellow newcomer Lonzo Ball to help them get there after acquiring them in separate sign-and-trade deals. DeRozan looks forward to joining Olympian Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic in what could be a high-scoring trio. He says there’s “so much potential” for the Bulls after they missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year.
