For all the praise I gave Satoransky above, I do think that by the end of the season he will be the second man off the bench.
To be honest, I might even roll the dice and say that Coby White starts day one, but I’ll go more into detail on why I think this on the next post when I talk about White extensively.
But back to Satoransky. He, in my opinion, was the best pick up for the Bulls this free agency and a steal at 10 million a year, given the contracts that other players at his caliber received this past offseason.
He is a great two-way player that doesn’t make many mistakes. He can be the main ball handler in any lineup the Bulls put out, but can also defer to another and play off the ball. He shoots the three at an impressive clip and I think that he can contribute to a few extra wins.
Satoransky’s on and off the ball ability works with Zach LaVine’s game perfectly and I do think that the Bulls will play those two together in a multitude of lineups.
I don’t have much more to say regarding Satoransky as he is just an overall good player for the Bulls. I don’t think that his production will dip from his prior seasons at all, in fact, I think that he will have a better season with his new team. Even though I said that White may be the starter, I do believe that, especially early in the season, Satoransky will be in the end of the game lineup.
My Prediction on Satoransky’s Statline: 12.8 points , 4.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists on 49.6% shooting and 41.7% shooting from 3 in 26-30 minutes a game (76 games played)
