...what does this team need to get them over the hump?
I am not worried about HOF-worthy talent or bust. I feel as though the Bulls greatest advantage right now is to utilize their depth and have a balanced offensive attack. And their very good team defense.
I feel as though their major needs looking forward should be to sure-up their defense/rebounding by adding a secondary 5 man who can rebound and defend at a back-up's pay scale; as well as finding a starting 4 player who isn't necessarily an All-Star but is a two-way threat (i.e. Jerami Grant).
If they can find that player who can allow PAW to be a bench unit guy, like he was at Florida State, I believe this Bulls team is a serious title contender under Billy Donovan. If they can find a way of getting their "Sheed to Pistons in '04" type of guy, watch out. Plus, Pat Williams will probably flourish offensively over time (who knows, maybe even sooner than later) going against other teams' second units. It might prompt him to be a more assertive, aggressive scorer. It's understandable he's not considering how young and inexperienced he is.
The question is more than anything: how do the Bulls accomplish something like this without breaking up their core of effective/developing guys of DD-ZL-LB-Vuce-AC-PAW? I'd absolutely hate to see them break up Zach and DeRozan more than anything seeing as how awesome they've been together.
