13. Shaquille Harrison, Combo Guard
The conversation surrounding the Chicago Bulls guard rotation that could be available in the trade market could remain quite similar among all the backups that also aren’t rookies. But there are situational uses that each of the Bulls guards could have on numerous different other NBA teams at this point.
Arcidiacono provides a more consistent spark off the bench for a second or third unit on both ends of the floor. The main difference between Arcidiacono (and a two-way contract player like Mokoka or Strus) and the next guard up on this list is the specific niche they fit into. Also both Arcidiacono and this next Bulls guard up emerged big down the stretch for Boylen last season.
That defensive stud that is up next for the Bulls here is the defensive standout 6-foot-4 guard that really stuck out down the stretch last season, the recently re-signed Shaquille Harrison. So far this season, Harrison didn’t get a whole lot of playing time. There’s just 16 total minutes of game action for Harrison thus far.
A hamstring injury did hamper Harrison throughout Training Camp and the preseason. That hamstring issue even lingered for him in the first couple of games in the regular season. But it appears as if he’s getting back to full health for what will be a very difficult month of November. He needs to be big situationally for the Bulls, but he could also bring a lot of defensive value for other NBA teams.
