Backcourt options
Darius Garland is the point guard who would fit right in with the Chicago Bulls. But questions with his thin frame and the lack of playmaking (Garland had more turnovers than assists in his 4 game stint at Vanderbilt) make him a questionable fit.
Reddish’s inefficiencies at the rim (51.2 percent according to hoop-math.com) along with subpar assists and rebounding numbers make him a questionable fit. All of these players are questionable fits, and their talent isn’t transcendent enough to select them and then figure out the fit later.
Trading down gives you a better chance at getting a player who fits the current construction of the roster. When Forman and Paxson traded for Otto Porter, the move represented a chance of getting a player who fits the modern NBA. The swingman from Georgetown has proven to be a sharpshooter, switchable-type player that they lacked earlier in the season. Porter Jr. is what GarPax envisioned when they signed Jabari Parker (a signing that will ever make sense).
Stephen Noh of The Athletic broke down how the former Washington Wizard wasn’t as good a defender as his reputation presented, but his scoring with Chicago has been much better than advertised (Otto Porter is averaging 17.5 PPG on 48.8 percent shooting from 3 via basketballreference.com). Trying to find more players, like Otto, that complement the core is what the Bulls should be focusing on.
