Point guard: Tomas Satoransky

What he’s done well

The efficiency and advanced numbers for former Washington Wizards 6-foot-7 guard Tomas Satoransky are solid so far this season. He’s shooting around 45 percent from three-point range and 87 percent from the free-throw line. Satoransky is also averaging more than five assists per game while turning it over just twice.

The awesome assist rate that Satoransky has, at 30 percent, and the 58 percent true shooting percentage both show how good Satoransky is when he’s the primary ball handler. The problem is that he’s not aggressive enough.

How to use him different

I just mentioned how the Chicago Bulls could utilize Satoransky better since he’s so efficient when he’s the floor general. Taking more than 7.6 shots per game and driving more often could help the Bulls use Satoransky more effectively. He’s a very solid point guard that can thrive on offense if his confidence and usage rate goes up.

Backup point guard: Kris Dunn

Satoransky isn’t having the best season as a defender (108 defensive rating). Put Dunn in for certain spots when Boylen needs a defensive stopper out on the floor instead of Satoransky.
