Just a day after the Bulls added Rawle Alkins on a 2-way contract, they went ahead and added another athletic shooting guard to round out the bench.
Sources: The Chicago Bulls have claimed former Atlanta Hawks guard Antonius Cleveland off waivers. Cleveland, 6-foot-6, is on a multiyear deal.

Cleveland’s deal isn’t guaranteed, so it’s possible he could be waived before the start of the regular season.
As it stands though, the Bulls have 15 players under contract plus Alkins and Ryan Arcidiacono on two-way contracts, meaning they currently have no full-time roster spots open and just one remaining two-way contract slot, a slot they didn’t fill last season.
So, we might be looking at the finished product. After winning 27 games last season, it’s hard to look at the group of players that the Bulls have assembled this offseason and not think the team has improved.
