Wider driving lanes for Derrick Rose won’t be the only potential boon for the Bulls’ offense. Coach Tom Thibodeau is stressing an aggressive mindset from that distance, one that’s not merely limited to Korver’s sharpshooting.

C.J. Watson and Keith Bogans are offseason additions who have shown flashes from downtown. Thibodeau has even green-lighted Luol Deng to take corner 3-pointers that he has developed accuracy on, even stopping a recent practice because Deng had launched a long jumper from just inside the arc.

“Playing the Bulls the last couple of years, a big part of their offense was just back DRose up, pick-and-roll, have him go to the basket and whatever happened happened,” Korver said. “I think it will be different this year.”

Rose agreed.

“We’ve moving the ball a lot better,” he said. “If we don’t have a shot inside, we’re moving it, swinging it, a lot of movement and picks. It’s a great offense with a lot of movement.”
