3 free-agent forwards the Chicago Bulls should sign: James Ennis

Over the last few weeks, the Bulls’ defense has suffered as a result of injuries. Adding James Ennis to the roster would give them another scrappy, hard-nosed defender to play with.

Ennis bounced around on 10-day contracts earlier this season when teams were handing them out like candy. He appeared on three different teams – the Brooklyn Nets, LA Clippers, and Denver Nuggets.

He didn’t get many minutes on any team but saw the most success when with the Clippers. Ennis played in two games, averaging 10.0 points and shooting 50.0 percent from deep.

Just last year, Ennis spent the entire season with the Orlando Magic. He averaged 8.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.5 assists while shooting 47.3 percent from the field and 43.3 percent from three-point range.

At only 31 years old, it’s safe to assume that Ennis still has something left in the tank. His two-way presence would give the Bulls a nice boost at the forward/wing position.

Although he wouldn’t make a major difference, having that extra defense and shooting would likely be an improvement over some of the lower-tier players they currently have on the roster.

At the very least, Ennis would give Billy Donovan another tool to work with off of his bench. And with how many injuries the Bulls have dealt with, having another experienced player could be crucial.
