Once thought to be on the roster bubble, Bullock seems to have secured his spot, perhaps at the expense of Martin, who has seen little action in the preseason. In Detroit's 114-91 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, Bullock was 7 of 8 from the field, 3 of 4 from the three-point line and had four assists. Most assumed he was simply a throw-in as part of the Marcus Morris trade, it seems Van Gundy believed he had a bona fide prospect on his hands.īullock has turned heads throughout preseason, doing exactly the things Van Gundy preaches for his players – playing hard-nosed defense all the time, shooting the lights out from the perimeter and always being a willing passer. He was a late first-round pick just two years ago and shined at North Carolina, but when you're on your third team in two years, the shine tends to wear off just a little. While Johnson, by virtue of being a lottery pick, came to the team with high expectations, Bullock was practically an afterthought.
