Fun Facts for the season

-Kris Dunn saw his role change this season as the team moved on from him being their point guard and instead utilized him as a defensive wing which can be displayed by looking at his usage dip over his first three seasons with the Bulls: 24.7 in 2017-18, 20.1 in 2018-19 and 14.6 in 2019-20. It appeared to work this year as he was on pace to produce 8th/7th round per-game value in 32 starts

-Head coach Jim Boylen brought the old-world to this group of youngsters as he had an old fashioned punch-clock made so that the organization could keep track of the time spent working (Check out the image here courtesy of Taco Trey Kerby on Twitter)

-The Bulls only had two starters from their opening day lineup who played in at least 90% of their games: Zach LaVine and Tomáš Satoranský

-Although both Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. have been viewed as having a lot of potential in fantasy circles, the Bulls have had trouble finding production from both of their young bigs at the same time as there has yet to be a stretch in their careers where both players are inside the top-90 in any format

-It was a tale of two seasons with Thaddeus Young: In his first 34 appearances, Young was limited to 21.5 minutes per game and he was producing 19th/21st round per-game value over that span. In his last 30 contests he saw 28.6 minutes of action and produced 6th/6th round per-game value

-Zach LaVine was on pace to have the best statistical season of his career as he was on track to finish with 3rd/4th round per-game value; the highest ranking of his career thus far in large part due to his increase in steals and 3-pointers made per game (1.5 steals per game compared with his career mark of 1.0 and 3.1 three-pointers per game compared with his career mark of 1.8)
