Chicago Bulls: Predicting statistical leaders in each major category

Chicago Bulls statistical leaders – 3-point percentage: Zach LaVine
Predicted percentage: 43.9 percent

Last season, without a true point guard, LaVine was able to hit 41.9 percent of all his shots from beyond the arc. This is an incredible number thanks to the fact that the opposition knew who was going to take most of the shots for the Bulls. This season with the firepower that the Bulls added over the summer, LaVine will get even better looks at the hoop from distance meaning his percentage should go up again.

Chicago Bulls statistical leaders – 2-point percentage: Tony Bradley
Predicted percentage: 67.4 percent

During his time in the league, Tony Bradley has been really good close to the basket. He cannot create his own shot, nor does he have any range beyond three feet. He is able to collect offensive rebounds and also moves well into the dunker’s slot meaning that he has a 64.9 percent career shooting percentage. His role will not change with the Bulls meaning that he will continue to shoot at a very high percentage.

Chicago Bulls statistical leaders – free-throw percentage: Coby White
Predicted percentage: 90.8 percent

Last season Coby White got to the line 2.1 times per game and he made an impressive 90.1 percent of his free throw attempts. This season should be no different for White, he will continue to be an offensive pest and making regular trips to the line. His numbers will improve slightly through natural progression.
