The CHGO Bulls crew discuss the impact made by Isaac Okoro in the starting lineup of the Chicago Bulls loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. Norman Powell sat with back spasms, so Tiago Splitter inserted Okoro into the starting unit for the first time this season. The results were mixed offensively, but Okoro expectedly gave a huge defensive lift to his teammates. Peck, Big Dave and Will Gottlieb react to Okoro getting praise from Josh Giddey and Nic Claxton after the game, and ponder the likelihood of Okoro seizing a starting spot permanently. What would that mean for Powell? Would Splitter move Matas Buzelis - who looked better on Sunday without Powell - to the second unit and keep Powell in the starting lineup?
