Bulls' Michael Carter-Williams: To make Bulls debut Thursday

Carter-Williams will make his Bulls debut in Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks, Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

The Bulls acquired Carter-Williams in a trade with the Bucks on Monday, and after passing his physical, the point guard will be available off the bench Thursday. Carter-Williams has struggled since being named Rookie of the Year in 2013-14, but the Bulls are hopeful the change of scenery can help him unlock his full potential. He's expected to open the season as the top backup to Rajon Rondo, though he'll have to beat out Jerian Grant for those duties.
