I'll give you that he's the breakout player of the week.
What I think some people might have to accept is, there might be a different bench player every week or so who gets hot. It was Mirotic for a while, there was a hue and cry for him to get minutes at the 3. Now it's Snell, once healthy I'm sure McDermott will have a hot streak and Brooks will have big games. The thing is so many front runners ignore the troubles they had when Dunleavy was hurt and those bench players had to fill larger roles.
I think the offense misses Dunleavy because even when he isn't getting open for a shot he keeps moving and better understands where the other four players are in the play. On defense he helps from the weak side better than Snell or Mirotic and he sees the plays develop quicker so the rotation is better . Hinrich sitting out exposes other things. Because the Bulls play as a team so much less flashy veterans fill some slots better even though guys like Brooks, Mirotic and Snell can roll up stats in larger numbers.
