One month after P.J. Brown voiced displeasure over his role, Bulls coach Scott Skiles has offered to change it.

"I've been too inconsistent for P.J. in finding him his minutes," Skiles said after Sunday's practice. "I need to do a better job of that. P.J. has been our best interior defender. He's our longest player. He has been a very good defensive rebounder for us. He's a conscientious box-out guy. He does a lot of things out there."

"I'm just trying to help us win," Brown said. "Defensively, I've had good games. Offensively, I haven't been where I want. Starting gets you into a rhythm faster. I'm ready for whatever."

Wallace is the wild card in the short term because he skipped practice again with his strained lower back and is questionable for Monday's matinee against San Antonio.

But when Wallace regains his health, look for Skiles to return to the lineup of Gordon, Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng, Brown and Wallace that went 3-3 over this season's first six games.

"We're coming to the midway point," Skiles said. "P.J.'s a veteran guy who has a lot of experience. I have to find different and better ways to use him."
