Underperformer: Kris Dunn, Chicago Bulls

The struggles continue for second-year point guard Kris Dunn and the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls have lost five games in a row, four since the All-Star Break ended. Look no further than Dunn for some reason why.

The second-year point guard is averaging more turnovers (4.0) than assists (3.5) in the last four contests. He’s still averaging 12.0 points across the same span, but is shooting 34.7 from the floor and 22.2 percent from 3-point range.

Dunn has been a bright spot, at least offensively, for the Bulls up until now. He’s still averaging 13.4 points, 6.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game on the season, but this latest stretch has been an eyesore.

He put up a career-high 32 points back on Jan. 5 against the Mavericks in a victory, but since then, he’s yet to eclipse 30 points again. In his first game back from the break, he was 2-for-11 with five points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals in a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
