Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
If the Bulls are looking to improve their defense, they won’t do much better than Anunoby.
In fact, the talented wing is a strong candidate to win this year’s Defensive Player of the Year award. Anunoby will lock his man down at the point of attack if need be – but nobody plays the passing lanes like him, either.
Meanwhile, Koloko has shown great potential as a defensive big man as well. His ability to defend the rim and also guard the perimeter gives him the potential to be a prototypical modern defensive big. With some polish, he should be a valuable player in this league.
Of course, neither of those players is worth a star like LaVine on their own. That’s why the Bulls get a first-round pick and a swap.
