A full year of being a successful starter on a pretty good Bulls team? Could be looking at 90+ mil over 4 years. My guess is he'll be a sub -MLE player on his next deal. He's a solid player and projects to be in our rotation next year, but he really doesn't have a single strong leveragable strength as a player or a big weakness to be fair. A very competent NBA player.
If he doesn't start for us next season and score 14ppg with 38% 3pt, I don't see him getting more than the MLE...if he's our 6th man then I see him getting around $10M...If he gets bumped down in our rotation, I could see something closer to the taxpayer MLE (which would be a steal IMO).
IMO, he is a starting level talent, but he's not a prolific scorer, if you are team that needs a glue-guy, passer, decent but not elite 3pt shooter, above average but not elite defender, he's a great 4th option scorer.
