The connection between the Chicago Bulls head coach Jim Boylen and Center Luke Kornet is getting out of hand again. Boylen buys too much into what Kornet brings to the table and apparently has since day one. Kornet is Boylen’s guy in the frontcourt, and the weird usage of the modern analytics in the NBA today by the head coach has to be a basis behind his fascination.
Kornet is getting more playing time of late thanks to injuries to big men Daniel Gafford and Wendell Carter Jr. Gafford is dealing with a laceration and dislocated thumb.
