On Dunleavy: He wasn't very effective this year coming off of injury but we wanted him last off season. This is what he did last season:
He was a very good team defender and communicated well with his teammates and has learned a great deal from Thibs.
He was 10th among all SFs in DRPM last season at 2.17 and 11th two years ago at 1.91 so it's no fluke. He was also one of only 18 players who was at least +1 in ORPM and +2 in DRPM (LeBron, AD, Kwahi, Draymond G., Danny G., Milsap, Pachulia, Tyson Chandler, Zach Randolph, Hayward, DeAndre Jordan, Wes Matthews, Derrick Favors, Cody Zeller).
The Bulls were 3.8 points per 100 possessions better with him on court. In the playoffs, they were 17.2 points per 100 possessions better with him on court. In his 13 seasons in the NBA, his teams have been better with him on court than off 10 times. In the playoff series against the Cavs, he was +1 while on court for 227 minutes and the Bulls were a total of 26 points better with him on the court than when he was off court.
Dunleavy was top 19% in the league in spot up PPP at 1.10. For reference, JR Smith was top 4% at 1.23 PPP, Kyrie was top 9% at 1.17 PPP, and KLove was top 15% at 1.12 PPP. He shot 45% on corner threes, 65% in the playoffs.
His spot up defense wasn't great as he allowed 1.03 PPP, bottom 35%.
His ISO defense was really good. He allowed .67 PPP in ISO, 14th best among players who played 60+ ISO defensive possessions/
He was pretty good defending off of screens. He allowed .83 PPP, good for top 40% in the league. He was decent in defending the pick and roll ball handler, top 48%.
Overall, he was a two way player (could still be though doubtful) who knows his role and would give us another plus player in the rotation and make the team stronger. In addition, we won't have to see him make annoying 27 footers against us which he seemed to do all the time. When he plays with LBJ, he'll get open looks. You could tell when we played them that he wished someone on enBulls could get him open looks.
