In the world of Arturas Karnisovas there are levels of mediocrity.
That has to be the only explanation for the Bulls’ executive vice president of basketball operations.
And that tier he must be the most comfortable wandering around in and bumping into walls? Competitive mediocrity.
NBA hell for most, but not for Karnisovas. He embraces it.
Not good enough to even be an afterthought for the likes of Cleveland, Boston and New York in the Eastern Conference in a playoff series, but not bad enough to put himself in the best position possible to try and hit the lottery golden ticket and land a franchise changer like a Cooper Flagg.
