NBA off-season: Top 5 under the radar pickups

Mike Dunleavy signs with the Bulls for a 2-year $6 million deal

Mike Dunleavy

The Chicago Bulls made up for the loss of Marco Belinelli (Spurs) by signing veteran Mike Dunleavy to a 2-year $6 million deal.

Chicago Bulls was a poor 3-point shooting team last season, so poor that only the Memphis Grizzlies made or attempted shots from downtown with less frequency in 2012-13. As he grew older, Mike started to become an elite marksmen. In his past three seasons, Dunleavy Jr. has made 41% of the 3s that he attempted which ranks him as the 4th best shooter (minimum 700 attempts) in that time-period.

Also, he played two of those 3 seasons in a fairly depleted Bucks quad. With the return of Derrick Rose and the plethora of big men the Bulls have, Mike is surely going to get good looks and all the signs points that he is going to convert them. After all, Kyle Korver thrived so well in this Bulls system, so why not Mike?

Bulls finished tied for 20th in the league with a 35.3 shooting percentage from 3-point range and getting an elite marksmen to help them at what they are worst for $6 million is just pretty much amazing.
