Chicago Bulls: 4 appealing free agents no one is talking about
Appealing Chicago Bulls FA targets on one is talking about: Terence Davis
The extreme number of underrated free agents set to hit the open market this offseason could give Karnisovas and Eversley the perfect opportunity to round out the rotation at the right time. The restricted free agent market is one particular point of emphasis this offseason, and that is why a potential target like shooting guard Terence Davis could be important to the Bulls.
This Sacramento Kings and former Toronto Raptors 6-foot-4 and 205-pound 24-year-old Mississippi native Davis was a gem find as an undrafted free agent two years ago.
The Raptors elected to part ways with Davis for just a second-round draft pick to the Kings last year, which didn’t make much sense on its surface, but off-court issues could have been a motivating factor. Davis was charged with domestic assault related to an incident in October by the New York District Attorney’s Office, and the charges were dropped in February according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Davis was an All-Rookie Second-Team selection for the 2019-20 season, along with the Bulls then-rookie point guard Coby White. And he was good for most of the way for the Kings during the 2020-21 regular season. He played well for the Kings in 27 games during the regular season. Davis averaged 11.1 points per game, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.3 blocks.
And he shot 42.8 percent from the field, 36.7 percent from beyond the arc, and 81.8 percent from the free-throw line.
It fell under the radar how Davis was largely still improving his game on both ends of the floor whilst playing for a team that wasn’t much of a postseason contender like the Kings. But Davis could be a nice fit with the Bulls as a deeper second or third unit guard that still has a good amount of room for growth. He likely wouldn’t cost the Bulls north of a minimum deal either if the Kings don’t decide to bring him back heading into next season.
