He was already somewhat proven as avg starter during his stint with Washington which is a far superior team to the Bulls.
His salary is also dirt cheap its better than literally adding Kemba, Irving in terms of price to performance standpoint.
Freaking EG just signed nearly twice for a contender so that tells how big of a steal this move was.
I am not sure White will ever be better than Sato at this point. His ceiling seem to be what Sato will provide for the duration of his contract. Probably should have drafted Rui and NAW by trading down. This is why I hate when teams draft by need, not BPA.
Sato is a 30 minute minimum starter so pg is not even needed anymore.
Whoa I don’t know about that. Good vision, good at finishing with a full head of steam going to the bucket, and reliable jumper. All things Dunn doesn’t have, but I wouldn’t go overboard. Full potential Lavine, Lauri, and even Sato isn’t a playoff team.
I am not saying Sato is a superstar. What I am suggesting he is one of the best value players you can get compared to a injury prone Kemba, Irving which then you would have wasted 40mil for nothing for the yr.
Obviously, the Bulls have 0 all star talent and will struggle to make playoffs but Sato signing alone was an A+.
Young would have been an A+ signing but its 3,4 years too late. Guys obviously a veteran and not in his prime.
Hopefully, he provides leadership and toughness (D Green role) and make up for his lack of performance on the court.
