Patrick Beverley is apparently a fan of the Bulls hiring assistant Roy Rogers

The Bulls have a need for a veteran and a point guard. Patrick Beverley is a free agent who fills both those needs and just so happens to be from Chicago.

There are plenty of dots that will connect Beverley and the Bulls to one another when free agency begins later this month. For now it's all speculation, but Beverley certainly isn't hiding the fact that he's a fan of the Bulls' most recent move.

Beverley, of course, is referring to the Bulls' hiring of assistant Roy Rogers, who was on Mike D'Antoni's staff in Houston the last three seasons. Beverley played under Rogers (and D'Antoni) in 2016-17, his final year with the Rockets. Rogers obviously made an impression on Beverley, who seems enthused to see Rogers back on the sideline in Chicago.

Will it have an impact on Beverley's free agency? Most likely not. But it also can't hurt in a recruiting pitch to have a well-respected assistant on board.

Also, just 15 hours before tweeting about Rogers, Beverley arrived back in Chicago where he routinely spends his offseasons.
