Minott was traded for cash and is getting DNPs for the Nets (feel like he is going to be out of the league)
Moore our of the league
Garza is now out of Bostons rotation
Miller has only played in garbage time with the bulls and I believe he is the tallest guy on roster.
Dilly has been ok through 3 games. His counting stats were good last night but 7 pts and 3 asts and improved his -28 to -19 in garbage time against the Celtics 3rd stingers last night. Also remember that Minott was averaging 12 and 9 in 3 of his first 4 games with the Celtics and now is on his way out of the league.
Until someone does well for a long time away from finch I struggle to blame finch and put more of the blame on Connelly that the players are not good.
Just my opinion. Also I like Connelly not a huge rip on Connelly but it is a concern

Yeah, I'm entirely of the same mind as you kek. First, I'm a huge fan of TC as a dealmaker...he is masterful at deals, and just pulled off another one last week. But as much as I love and respect TC, his drafting record is very poor...I think there's no disputing that.
As for Rob, while he was in a very bad situation here, he is in the perfect situation in Chicago. They are currently a game and a half out of the play in and have lost 9 out of their last 10 games. They own their own pick this year along with a protected first rounder from Portland and this draft class is loaded...they're not going to be trying to win many games the rest of the season. Rob is going to get a lot of non-pressure minutes this year, and might even get some starts as the season progresses and the Bulls go into full tank mode. They already know what they have in Giddey, and he has a "hamstring issue". Sitting Giddey gives the Bulls more chances to see who Rob is, gives him the court time he needs to develop, and helps their tanking chances. He will have no pressure on him at all, and will likely start to put up some good stats. But come on, guys...saying he should have gotten more minutes with a team with championship aspirations is not realistic. As poorly as Mike has shot this season, the coaches at least knew he would protect the ball and be in the right place on defense...he was the safe choice, and there's no way Rob should have been getting rotation minutes ahead of a veteran the coaches trust.
