KC Johnson: Gotta love David Nwaba’s mindset. You might guard LeBron? “I would hope so. It’s always a joy playing against one of the best players in the world.” Most wouldn’t hope for that matchup. Why do you? “It’s just a fun matchup. You want that opportunity to see where you stand.”
KC Johnson: More Nwaba on LBJ. Do you try not to be intimidated when you face somebody like LeBron? “Well, I’m not. Just go out there and play. It’s just basketball at the end of the day.”
NBA executives describe two types of tanking tactics: active and passive. Passive tanking is often done under the guise of player development. One classic method is putting healthy veterans on the inactive list, as the Bulls have done with center Robin Lopez and small forward Justin Holiday since the All-Star break, inserting Cristiano Felicio and David Nwaba into the starting lineup. It’s sitting core players for key stretches in games, as the Mavs have recently made routine.
Adrian Wojnarowski: As expected, the Chicago Bulls will guarantee the contract of David Nwaba for rest of the season, league sources tell ESPN. He’s been a revelation for the Bulls and undoubtedly will be one of the intriguing restricted free agents on market this summer.
KC Johnson: Bulls snap 10-game skid with 119-111 victory over Hornets in OT. Markkanen 24 points, 12 rebounds. Dunn 21 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds. Nwaba big off bench. Mirotic debuts with 6 points.
