Must-have free agents for the Chicago Bulls: 1. SG Jordan Clarkson

Speaking of offensive boosts, Clarkson would be a perfect addition to the Bulls’ roster. He is a microwave scorer with playoff experience.

Last season, the combo guard averaged a career-high 20.8 points per game, along with 4.4 assists and 4.0 rebounds.

In 2022, he was excellent in the playoffs for the Utah Jazz; he averaged 17.5 points while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor and 37.5 percent from deep.

With Lonzo Ball sidelined, the Bulls need help in the backcourt, and Clarkson could provide them with some much-needed scoring and playmaking.

Clarkson should command more than MLE. The Bulls could pursue a sign-and-trade with the Jazz. They could ship 23-year-old guard Coby White to Utah as part of the deal. He is a restricted free agent and would fit the timeline for the rebuilding Jazz.
