Bulls Working Out The Wrinkles During Training Camp!

Bulls met again this past weekend for practice at the McCook Expo! It was the Breakfast Club Special as the Bulls started practice at 7 AM! Two starters were excused from this practice! DC and Twain Jackson, but Mike Jackson, Reggie Terrell, and Pierre Monagan all showed up! Along with Derrick Terrell's twin boys who participated in our workout! This week our main objective at practice was to test our ability to recovery from two straight weeks of play and to see how well the starters would play together! We accomplished a lot in about two hours! Overall the starters made some progress as they were able to push the tempo of the game more so than in previous years. The second unit is a tab bit ahead of the first unit thanks in part to their long experience of playing together! The second unit showed great poise and patience on offense trying to take advantage of match ups, down in the post! Both squads were able to push each other, and we split wins in four games in inter-squad scrimmages!

Notes from this Bulls practice include Mike Jackson still having a nice touch with his outside shot! Pierre Monagan showed some rust but still had good command of the offense as he moved the ball around to the open man! Reggie Terrell had a nice presence in the post! The second unit was lead by Randy Kimbrough who was the smartest guard on the court and was able to hit the open man and open jump shot! Robin Locke continue's his work on getting his outside jumper back on track. Derrick Terrell was huge down in the post as he's still recovering from sore knees . Bill Leach is making progress and showing flashes of old but still needs more work with conditioning and timing! It was another good workout that only saw Randy suffer a mild ankle sprain, but he vowel to be ready for next week's practice, which could see the entire team together for the first time, and include a scrimmage against the Celtics!
