The Bulls have filled their 15th and final standard roster spot by signing free agent center Orlando Robinson, the team announced Friday (Twitter link via K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network).
Robinson’s contract with the Bulls is non-guaranteed, per Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Both Lorenzi and Johnson (Twitter link) point out that signing Robinson will allow the Bulls to use their two-way players more often going forward. Head coach Tiago Splitter and head of basketball Bryson Graham have said they like the team’s two-way players and Jordan Hawkins has been in the rotation of late, Johnson notes.
Robinson, 26, spent training camp and the preseason with Chicago on a non-guaranteed camp deal prior to being waived before the season began. In three preseason contests with the Bulls this fall, Robinson averaged 6.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 11.5 minutes per game.
