Bulls Eye: Christian Wood sweepstakes heating up

Talented big man Christian Wood surprisingly remains a free agent with numerous teams, including the Chicago Bulls, being linked to the 27-year-old UNLV product. While Wood certainly has red flags—his staying unsigned at the tail end of the free agency periods is a glaring one—there's no denying the 6-foot-10 forward has legitimate all-around skills.

That said, here are the top five stories from the past week involving the Bulls:

1) Chicago Bulls viewed as a candidate to land free agent big man Christian Wood

While the Los Angeles Lakers are seen as a prime candidate to land Wood, the Bulls have also been cited as a candidate to sign the sweet-shooting big man, primarily because they have more to offer than just the veteran's minimum.

2) Can Christian Wood fit in with the Chicago Bulls?

Wood has talents that can help the Bulls, but what will his fit be like? Will he be open to coming off the bench and playing backup center or forward? Can he contribute on the defensive end? Will his shooting fit in with the Bulls' offense? All these questions need answers before the Bulls try to sign the free-agent big man.

3) Free agents the Chicago Bulls could pursue

The signing of Ayo Dosunmu has left the Bulls with a solid roster. However, there are several free agents that can still offer the team value.

4) Jevon Carter makes dream of playing for the Chicago Bulls come true

Jevon Carter grew up being a Bulls fan, especially when Derrick Rose was still in Chicago terrorizing opposing defenses on a nightly basis. Now, it's Carter's turn to don the red and white and terrorize defenses.

5) Why the Chicago Bulls needed to give Javon Freeman-Liberty a shot

Undrafted guard Javon Freeman-Liberty was one of the Summer League's undisputed standouts, and many thought that the Bulls should have given him a shot with a roster spot. Unfortunately, this didn't happen, as the Toronto Raptors were quicker and signed him to a two-way deal.
