The Bulls are quickly learning why they need Leonard Miller
If everything goes according to plan, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson will be the Chicago Bulls' starting forward duo for the next 10 years. But they can't do it alone.
Leonard Miller is showing why he could be a useful partner for those two as long as they call the Windy City home.
The old "preseason sample size alert" is necessary here, but Miller has played a major role for head coach Tiago Splitter in his team's first two exhibition contests. Across 37 minutes in those two games, the 22-year-old has totaled 26 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and three steals on 10-of-18 shooting.
Leonard Miller News: Double-doubles off bench
Miller logged 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 104-100 preseason loss to Memphis.
It was another strong preseason performance out of Miller, who was close to recording a double-double in the first half alone (eight points and eight rebounds). Even with a strong preseason to solidify his spot on the 15-man roster, Miller faces an uphill battle to playing time, as he figures to operate behind the likes of Patrick Williams, rookie Dailyn Swain, Jalen Smith (foot) and Zach Collins (toe).

Leonard Miller Strengthens Bulls Frontcourt Options in Preseason
Chicago Bulls forward Leonard Miller has emerged as a key preseason contributor as the team evaluates its frontcourt depth in exhibition games, with the 22-year-old producing efficient scoring and rebounding performances off the bench.
According to CBS Sports and RotoWire, Miller scored 14 points with two assists and two steals in 14 minutes during Chicago's 124-117 preseason win over Phoenix. He shot 5-for-7 from the field, made one three-pointer and committed no turnovers.
RotoWire reported Miller followed that performance with a double-double against Memphis, recording 12 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during a 104-100 preseason loss.
