Leonard Miller has emerged as a positive development for the Chicago Bulls in recent weeks, as Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca writes.
After seeing limited opportunities during his time in Minnesota, the 22-year-old forward is now getting a chance to contribute regularly in Chicago.
Over his past six games, Miller is averaging 13.2 points and 7.2 rebounds in nearly 30 minutes per night while shooting efficiently. He was acquired in the Ayo Dosunmu trade prior to last month’s deadline.
“I mean, he’s got a really good motor. He’s good on the glass,” head coach Billy Donovan said.
“I think, like any young player who did not really get a chance to play a lot early in his career … he’s got to get better in terms of the game plan and discipline, knowing the league, knowing who he’s guarding, those kinds of things.
“But I think he shoots the ball fairly well. He can put it on the floor some. I think he can be a very, very promising guy for us.
“I think what he’s done to this point in time, in a short period of time (of) getting the opportunity to play, he’s taking full advantage of it.”
Chicago holds a $2.4MM team option on Miller for the 2026/27 season. If declined, he would become a restricted free agent this offseason.
