:thinking:
with the current roster
pg rose
sg butler
sf snell
pf portis
c gasol
Portis is interesting. The 4 bolded is what some Bulls fans that I have seen on other sites say they want out there on the court.
Id be ok with it if you replace him with mirotic
I see you on Dunleavy...I just think Snell has the better potential if he were to improve. Snell showed flashes of being able to do everything Dunleavy does, but with the ability to drive on occasion as well as the benefit of better defense. No disrespect to Dunleavy though, he's huge for the team for sure.PG - Rose
SG - Butler
SF - Dunleavy(if he is healthy)
PF - Gibson
C - Gasol
rose, butler, gasol are all givens to start. due to the inability to play well off eachother, noah comes off the bench to play with Niko(who I thought played well off eachother and allowed noah to just play down low and do what he does thanks to nikos spacing).
and everyone seems to like snell over Dunleavy and while I understand snell is a better defender, I think many of you undervalue what Dunleavy means to the team. when he plays they look so much better offensively...the ball moves around better and the "smart" play gets made when he gets the ball. he seemed to be one of the few that understood how to get the ball to gasol in the post without it getting tipped or stolen by the defender. its those little details that make him imo a key player for them this year. not to mention our best 3 point shooter :shrug:

I think also if you were to include Dunleavy in the bench unit with potentially Brooks, Niko, and Jo, there's a lot of spacing and ball movement there which works under Hoiball as well.agreed...snell for sure has a higher ceiling or what have you. Dunleavy is who he is, snell is still young and a really good athlete with freakish arm length. if hoiberg is going to want to run n gun or whatever then I could see both players playing very well in it and there will be minutes for both. especially with the injury to dunleavy
That wouldn't be a bad thing imoSo you think the Bulls should try to run a team oriented offense like the old Bad Boy Pistons teams from 87-91? When they had all those guys averaging like 9-18ppg.

I do think Dunleavy will be the starter when he comes back unless Snell really shocks us with improvement, but Snell will be the better option to close out games. Based on what we know so far, Rose/Butler/Snell/Gibson/Gasol is my closing group.
Dunleavy as a starter is a big loss for the Bulls. He is at best an 8th or 9th player on a championship team. He can't create his own shot, can't post up his man and is only average as an assist guy. He sure as shit cannot play defense worth a damn. I just do not see why this guy gets all of these kudus from people on this board.
dunleavys value doesn't show up in the stat sheet outside of his shooting. what I do know is the bulls record is much better with him than it is without him :shrug:
