NBA: Biggest X-factor for all 30 teams in the 2019-20 season

Chicago Bulls: Tomas Satoransky

The Chicago Bulls have long been in desperate pursuit of an above-average point guard since they vanished from the playoff picture.

Kris Dunn was a logical gamble to make as a former top-five pick, but he’s proven himself unworthy to operate as the floor general of the future in the Windy City.

Chicago already possesses a ball-dominant guard in Zach LaVine coming off his best season as a pro. He is one of the faces of the franchise with a usage rate that placed him just outside the top-10, a figure unlikely to decline given his production from a year ago.

To play alongside him, the front office acquired Tomas Satoransky, who’s earned his keep on the numerous occasions the Washington Wizards found themselves without John Wall over the last couple of years.

Satoransky’s numbers don’t jump off the table, but he proved himself worthy of a three-year, $30 million contract for his efforts in replacing a five-time All-Star.

Washington’s offensive rating increased 1.3 points with him on the court, the result of a team-first mentality that has him play hot potato with the basketball in the best of ways.

He’s the perfect complementary option, having already grown accustomed to a score-first backcourt mate named Bradley Beal with a 3-point percentage of 39.5 from last year.

Satoransky can also take care of the basketball with 5.0 assists a night but is more than willing to cede to those more talented than him.

The Bulls have a lot of interesting pieces sprinkled across their roster, but the point guard spot is arguably the most important of 2019. Should Satoransky live up to his new deal, it may help his new team make a push for a playoff spot.
