The Bulls need better perimeter shooting than they got this season

There are players on the team who can be lights-out, knockdown shooters (McDermott, Nikola Mirotic and Mike Dunleavy) and the Bulls must incorporate them into the offense. Having players like Brooks or Butler miss for 3-5 consecutive possessions that translate into opponent fastbreak points is not going to win the Bulls anything.

If players can’t deliver on offense, Hoiberg must step in and run plays for the shooters and not babysit anyone for their own numbers.  The more efficient attacking offense should take priority.
