Chicago Bulls

Wishlist: A Sharpshooter 

Chicago is currently sitting at 14-13 and 6th in the Eastern Conference which is quite the surprise to some people around the league. Coming into the season there were question marks about how Wade, Rondo, and Butler were going to fit together, but Butler has let everyone know with his play that this is his team.

Wade has been a great fit as well as a side kick to Jimmy. Taj Gibson at the 4 has been overachieving, averaging 12-7 and has been a machine on the offensive glass.

There is one thing that sticks out while watching the Bulls all season long. They lack perimeter shooting. In a league where three-point shooting is at an all-time high, this isn’t a good trend for Chicago.

We’re getting the Bulls another three-point shooter for Christmas! McDermott and Mirotic were thought to be the Bulls shooters, but they’re shooting 32 and 28 percent, respectively. McDermott has only played in 9 games this season, so they need another perimeter shooting threat to come off the bench and knock down open threes to help with their playoff run.
