Ask Sam Mailbag: Questions about Coby White, the MVP race, Devon Dotson, and more

Sam responds to your questions and thoughts as the Bulls enter the home stretch of their 2021-22 regular season

The play of Nikola Jokic tells me that Tom Boerwinkle played in the wrong era. Who would you nominate for the Norm Van Lier Award (presented to the scrappiest player)?

Sam Smith:

Tom couldn't shoot like that. Maybe Jerry Lucas. But that's a good idea for the Van Lier award. Obviously, Arcidiacono is scrappy. But he hardly plays enough to make the impact. I'd select Thad Young. I rarely seen anyone retrieve his own team's turnovers as often, though unfortunately many of his own.
