If he had this type of year last year, his contract is probably double what it is now (and it wouldn't be the Bulls giving to him most likely). Heck he might have had this type of year last year had LaVine not have been in the picture. Not a shot at Zach, just the reality that his absence allowed Coby to take a huge step this year.
Though I feel bad, I also feel very fortunate as a Bulls fan that we have him locked in for 2 more years at such a great value.
Coby is doing it at a smaller scale, but it reminds me of when Zach first got his extension from us. We signed him at a super value deal because he was still coming back from injury, and then his numbers exploded. Too bad for half of it we were in a rebuild so we didn't do anything to put the right pieces around him. I hope we can do a better job this time around with Coby and Ayo, though unlikely given what our books look like at the moment.
