Chicago Bulls: 3 best shooters for the team during the 2010’s

1. Mike Dunleavy Jr., Forward

This 6-foot-9 and 230 pound former Duke Blue Devils forward spent a good portion of his latter days of his NBA career in a Bulls uniform. The ultra-consistent Mike Dunleavy Jr. played in bits and pieces of three seasons with the Bulls, mostly throughout the mid-2010’s. Dunleavy only played in one more season after his run with the Bulls was done.

And that came during the 2016-17 campaign, where he split the regular season between the divisional foe Cleveland Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks.

However, Dunleavy was an early first round pick (3rd overall) of the Golden State Warriors way back in the 1999 NBA Draft. He spent most of his career between the Warriors and Indiana Pacers, before spending two seasons with the Bucks, and then landing in the Windy City. His first season in a Bulls uniform came during the 2013-14 campaign.

Dunleavy played in all 82 regular season games during the 2013-14 campaign (starting in 41 of them). He actually started in the bulk of the regular season games that he played in with the Bulls. In his three season run in the Windy City, Dunleavy averaged 9.9 points per game, while shooting 42.9 percent from the field, 39.2 percent from beyond the arc, and 83.0 percent from the free-throw line. There was also one regular season in which (2014-15) Dunleavy shot well over 40 percent from downtown.

And those numbers amounted to Dunleavy registering an effective field goal percentage of 52.2 and a 55.6 true shooting percentage in three years with the Bulls. He ranked well above the NBA adjusted averaged in all four major shooting percentages in his three seasons in the Windy City.
