Chicago Bulls: 5 potential shooters to target in free agency

NBA free agency is set to begin at 6 p.m. ET Friday, June 29. Just like every other franchise, the Chicago Bulls will have the opportunity to upgrade their roster.

The 2022 Bulls struggled in many areas last season, but the lack of floor spacing and shot-making proved most devastating.

After resigning star center Nikola Vucevic to a three-year extension, the Bulls don’t exactly have a bunch of cap space left to work with.

Inexpensive veteran shotmakers are likely the route the team is going to take. Luckily for Chicago, there seem to be plenty of options that fit that bill.

The Chicago Bulls might be active in NBA free agency this summer.

Here are 5 players to monitor as the Bulls aim to improve their shooting in 2023.

Jevon Carter

Jevon Carter is a defensive-minded point guard that has seen his role in the NBA increase every single season.

Last season with Milwaukee, he averaged 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists a game. Carter did this while shooting 42.1% from deep. His pesky on-ball defense and reliable shot-making at a relatively cheap price would improve the outlook of the roster.

Seth Curry

The 32-year-old sharpshooter has shot 43.5% from 3-point range over the entirety of his career. Last season, Curry averaged 9.2 points in only 19.9 minutes per game.

The younger Curry brother lacks defensive capabilities but would instantly add a level of versatility on the offensive end of the floor.

Georges Niang

Georges Niang is the epitome of what a stretch forward is. The 6-7 forward has a career 3-point percentage of 40.3% on nearly 4 attempts a game. Niang would instantly bring spacing to an offense in dire need of it.

Wesley Matthews

The nearly 37-year-old didn’t play a large role in Milwaukee’s backcourt last season. However, with a career 3-point percentage of 37.6%, he could fill the need of a rotational shooter on what would certainly be a veteran minimum contract.

Joe Ingles 

The third and final Milwaukee Buck on this list is none other than longtime veteran sharpshooter Joe Ingles. Ingles spent 8 seasons for the Jazz before coming off the bench for a loaded Bucks team.

Aside from a torn ACL suffered during his last season in Utah, Ingles has been extremely durable, playing 70+ games in six different seasons. With a career 3-point percentage of 40.8%, the veteran would fill a void for relatively cheap.
