I’m not super up on the Bulls’ day to day, but it seems like Markkanen isn’t living up to expectations there. Does anyone know the details of his recent history. 

Basically all the bad things in Chicago could be boiled down to one guy, Boylen. After Lauri's amazing sophomore season where he averaged 19/9, Boylen came in and changed the entire offense up. Boylen's offense had no motion, and didn't highlight Lauri's strengths. He turned him into a weird post player that never got the ball in the spots he liked. He was relegated to a flex option where often times he'd take only 10-12 shots a game, the same amount as Satoransky, Porter Jr, and Thad Young most nights. 

Add in a bunch of nagging injuries that kept him out like his hip, ankle, and a heart scare. But he's still the finnish sniper that everyone projected him to be. If the Mavs could be so lucky, Lauri in Maxi's role would be a huge win.
