#8 – Mike Dunleavy Jr.
Dunleavy has been a solid role player throughout his time with the Bulls, and that has continued this year. He is averaging 9.6 points, 1.7 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game. Although his stats aren’t too great, he helps the Bulls’ offense since he is a fantastic three-point shooter (41.7% for the year).
Unfortunately, Dunleavy has been out with an ankle injury since January 3rd. One of the reasons for the Bulls’ recent slump is because he has not been playing. The Bulls’ weakest position in depth is arguably the small forward, so when Dunleavy is out, the Bulls will have trouble.
