Chicago Bulls: Taking NBA Summer League with a grain of salt

Throughout the history of this Summer League, NBA fans have witnessed very false testaments to players’ potential. Every year, a few players have a phenomenal showing in this development league and are proclaimed as the next big thing in the NBA, when in reality they were far too hyped up. The Chicago Bulls got that experience too.

Take New York’s Kevin Knox, for example. In the Summer of 2018, Knox absolutely showed out, averaging 21.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. He was heralded as a favorite to win the rookie of the year for the 2018-2019 season.
