Chicago Bulls: 3 least efficient point guards since 2010

2. Isaiah Canaan

While the Bulls trying their hand with Teague as a potential backup point guard option behind D-Rose in the early-to-mid 2010’s, they missed the chance to possibly develop another more potent young player. That hurt them once D-Rose was shipped off to the New York Knicks ahead of the 2016-17 season.

When there was all of that turmoil existing between the front office, locker room, former head coach Fred Hoiberg, and veteran point guard Rondo during the 2016-17 campaign, the rest of the point guard rotation was a bit of a mess. One of the guards they tried their hand with during that tumultuous season was the 6-foot and 200 pound former Murray State Racer Isaiah Canaan.

The former second round pick of the Houston Rockets (34th overall) in the 2013 NBA Draft Canaan did flash some signs that he could become a quality second or third unit contributor in his early days in the league. But the Bulls did not get the version of that decent contributor off the bench in Canaan that they saw earlier in his career with the Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers.

The Bulls got 39 games played out of Canaan during the 2016-17 season (none of which he started in). He averaged 4.6 points per game, 1.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 0.6 steals in those 39 games played. Canaan shot 36.4 percent from the field, 26.6 percent from beyond the arc, and 90.9 percent from the free-throw line.

That amounted to him registering a -3.3 box plus/minus rating, -0.2 value over replacement player rating, .042 win shares per 48 minutes, 0.5 total win shares, and a 48.3 true shooting percentage.
