Power ranking Chicago Bulls players through the first 10 games
By Luke Askew
4. Otto Porter Jr.
Otto Porter Jr. has been one of the biggest disappointments for the Bulls in the young 2019-20 NBA season, but he’s still the fourth-best player on the roster.
In October, Otto looked disastrous. He wasn’t moving very well, he was lethargic and he averaged 8.8 points per game on a rough 31.8 percent shooting from the field and 23.8 percent shooting from 3-point land. October was a small sample size (only five games), so the numbers weren’t as concerning as the eye test was.
Had Otto looked sharp but his shots just weren’t falling, there would’ve been no reason to worry. But with the way he looked while he was playing, it was definitely (and rightfully) causing concern amongst Bulls fans.
Thankfully, Otto’s been better in November, averaging 14.3 points per game on an efficient 52.5 percent shooting from the field and 57.9 percent shooting from 3-point range.
He recently suffered a foot injury, but hopefully he can keep shooting the ball well when he comes back. The Bulls definitely need it.
