3 shooters the Chicago Bulls could target in free agency

This past season, the Chicago Bulls were one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the NBA. They shot fairly well, clocking in at 36.1% from deep on the season, which ranked 16th in the league. However, they attempted the fewest threes per game at 28.9. They were the only team to average fewer than 30 three-point attempts per game.

Heading into the summer, that needs to be one of the Bulls’ top priorities. Arturas Karnisovas wants to continue to compete with the current core, but if that’s the case, adding shooting around them will be crucial. Free agency will be a great place for them to address this need.

With that in mind, here are three solid three-point shooters the Bulls could potentially target in free agency this summer.

Shooters the Chicago Bulls could target in free agency: Seth Curry

Seth Curry is quite literally one of the greatest three-point shooters of all time, as he currently ranks sixth ever in percentage from deep(43.5 percent). Adding him to the rotation would give Chicago a go-to three-point shooter off the bench, which they desperately need.

Shooters the Chicago Bulls could target in free agency: Donte DiVincenzo

Donte DiVincenzo would be a valuable asset for the Bulls on both sides of the ball, but his shooting performance this past season would make him perfect. He shot 39.7 percent from distance on a career-high 5.3 attempts per game. DiVincenzo has a player option, but he could decline it and seek a slightly larger payday.

Shooters the Chicago Bulls could target in free agency: Georges Niang

Signing Georges Niang would help solve the Bulls’ need for shooting as well as their need for forward depth. The 6-foot-7 forward shot 40.1 percent from deep on 4.9 attempts per game this past season.
