The Chicago Bulls have been consistently underhanded over the past two seasons. With continued injuries to key players, a multitude of guys have had to step up and prove their worth. Kris Dunn will be returning at some point in the near future. Who should stay in the rotation?
Although injuries have certainly been prevalent for the NBA as a whole, it seems the Chicago Bulls have been hit extra hard in recent memory.
Over the past two seasons, players central to the rebuild- Like Lauri Markkanen, Kris Dunn, Bobby Portis and Zach LaVine-have all missed a significant amount of games at some point.
While the team as a whole definitely improved depth-wise over the course of this past offseason, the point guard position remained relatively lackluster.
To the surprise of many, however, this position has been a lot more productive than expected in lieu of Dunn’s absence.
Although consistency definitely still remains a problem, the likes of Ryan Arcidiacono, Shaquille Harrison and Cameron Payne have all played solid basketball for at least some portion of time and in different ways.
When Dunn returns at some point this season, which of these three should retain a spot in the point guard rotation?
While there may not be a clear-cut answer just yet, 18 games has brought a lot of exposure to these young guards and there are definitely some indications of future success, or lack thereof.
