Arturas Karnisovas may have just handed Bulls fans an improbable parting gift

Pippen Ain't Easy writer Andrew Hanlon argues that former front office head Arturas Karnisovas left Chicago Bulls fans a valuable parting gift in forward Leonard Miller. Acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves alongside Rob Dillingham in exchange for Ayo Dosunmu, Miller has rapidly developed into a key contributor for Chicago after receiving limited playing time early in his career.

Miller averaged 11.7 points and 5.8 rebounds in 27 games for Chicago last season after playing just 84 total minutes in Minnesota. Hanlon highlights Miller's strong preseason performance—averaging 17.5 points and 6.5 rebounds—suggesting his rim-running skill set effectively complements young forwards Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson in Chicago's future frontcourt plans.
