Subject: Tony Snell
Optimist:
- Tony Snell has shown flashes of being an elite shooter as well as an elite athlete.
- He has the length and athleticism to be a lock-down defender and a soft enough touch to be a three-point sniper.
- Now that Thibodeu’s personality is out of the way Snell can remain confident throughout an entire season.
Pessimist:
- Tony Snell does not have the mentality to succeed at this level.
- Confidence is half the battle and Snell barely has any.
- Sure he can shoot at times and he is also athletic but in high pressure situations last season he consistently turned the ball over as well as botched defensive assignments.
- The Bulls will be fortunate if Snell can become a reliable rotation player.
