Noa Essengue News: Doesn't see floor in season opener

Essengue didn't play during Wednesday's 115-111 win over the Pistons.

The Bulls appear to be bringing the rookie first-rounder along slowly, as he was unable to crack the Opening Night rotation. Chicago could be better served by sending Essengue to the G League's Windy City Bulls so that he can get consistent reps and development time, but the parent club could opt to keep him around while Zach Collins (knee) is sidelined.
