On Thursday during the draft, the Chicago Bulls finally decided to pull the trigger on fan favorite superstar Jimmy Butler in trading him to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and the 7th overall pick in the draft.
My initial reaction was grim, simply because it was hard to say goodbye to a lifelong Bull that had given so much to Chicago. While the initial payout looked underwhelming at the surface, there is no denying that the Bulls’ young squad is full of potential.
Kris Dunn, a now second-year guard out of Providence, sports a near seven-foot long wingspan and is hailed as a future defensive stalwart by many scouts.
