How do you only have one decent ballhandler on the roster?

Who is our "one decent" ball handler in your mind?

What's the over/under on Grant turnovers today? I know he will be trying awful hard with this opportunity!

It was pretty cool to see Lauri just dunk all over the Hawks because his shot wasn’t falling. I’m loving this kid. I know it upsets Bob and LTG that I like him now, but I can’t help it. Stud player.

I liked him the first time i saw him in the Summer League. Check the tape. Its why the eye test is better than stat gazing. You proclaimed him to be a bum based upon statistics. Thats on you. Anyone can reverse course but you were adamant about him being a bum.

I proclaimed him to be a bust based on the tournament games I watched. Not stats.

I was wrong on Markkanen. I thought he was soft and therefore wouldn’t be a good player outside of being a stretch role player. I was wrong. He has an edge to his game, can take players off the dribble, and can switch defensively on smaller players all much better than I thought. I’m glad I was wrong. He looks like he could be great.

I agree. I think he can be great also. He may go down as the best player from this particular draft when it is all said and done.

I don't watch college basketball too much and frankly had never heard of him before the Bulls drafted him..When i watched him during the summer league the one thing that jumped out about him was his athleticism. He really is a fluid athlete. I also noticed that he could put it on the floor and he had a competitive edge. I'd be lying if Ii said i knew if he'd be this good this fast though.

Didn't look like a bust at all. GarPax deserve credit for identifying him.

Yep. Butler has helped make Minnesota better but if they had the guys that they traded to the Bulls they would be legitimate title contenders in a year or two. They'd be absolutely loaded.
