Did the Chicago Bulls give up on Rob Dillingham too soon—and could Buddy Hield’s shooting actually make life significantly easier for Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson?On today’s episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the Bulls’ reported decision to send 21-year-old Rob Dillingham to Charlotte for veteran sharpshooter Buddy Hield and cash considerations. Dillingham averaged 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 30 games with Chicago, but also shot 30% from three and carried significant questions about turnovers, defense and his pathway to minutes. Pasted textThe uncomfortable part? Dillingham is still only 21, and Chicago is supposedly rebuilding. Haize examines whether Bryson Graham sold too early on a former lottery pick before Tiago Splitter ever had the chance to coach him—or correctly identified that Chicago needed movement shooting and cleaner role definition more than another ball-dominant developmental guard. Pasted textThen we get into the fun part. 🎯Buddy Hield is a 39.5% career three-point shooter, and his value goes far beyond standing in the corner. Haize breaks down how Hield’s movement shooting could create easier driving lanes for Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis, improve Nic Claxton’s roll opportunities, and give Josh Giddey another proven relocation target. Pasted textPLUS…Chicago may have solved one issue while creating another.Who creates offense when Josh Giddey sits?Tre Jones can organize. Norman Powell can score. Matas needs real creation reps. Dailyn Swain can eventually connect possessions. But replacing Dillingham with Hield changes the bench’s offensive hierarchy in a major way.
