Shooting.
We've been one of the worst shooting teams over the last few years, and not much has been done to fix it.
Yeah, we drafted Doug McDermott. But who knows how much playing time he's gonna get or if he's even gonna be any good.
Snell wasn't that great from 3 last season, and he probably won't play much this upcoming season.
Dunleavy is decent from 3, but not big enough of a threat to take a lot of attention away from other guys.
Who else?
Almost every championship team has a few guys that can consistently hit the 3. Without guys that can shoot, an offense is much easier to contain or shut down. Idk why this area always seems to be ignored by the Bulls.
I won't mention all the other reasons people are pointing out ...like Snell looking great from 3 last night, he was a great shooter in College. However, I think you are underestimating Gasol and his effect he'll have.
I really am having a hard time remembering the last big the Bulls had that could legitimately attack the rim on offense??? The Bulls will have much more space from this alone. Teams have been able to play good perimeter defense against the Bulls, cuz they didn't have anyone that was a threat to post up.
Gasol not only gives us that, but he's one of the best passing bigs in the NBA, along with another...Noah. Gasol will improve the Bulls offense in many ways. First, he can score in the post! This spreads the floor for the Bulls on the perimeter, allowing our shooters better shots.
Also, Noah no longer has to defend bigs that give him trouble. Stick Gasol on them and let Noah beast.
