The Chicago Bulls are one of the worst teams in the league in terms of offensive efficiency. The Bulls rank 24th in Offensive Rating (112.5 points scored per 100 possessions) per NBA.com. Per Cleaning The Glass, the Bulls are 25th in Halfcourt Offensive Rating, posting 113.2 points per 100 possessions. Simply put, the Bulls struggle to put the ball in the basket. 

Flip on any Bulls game this season--win or loss--and you will likely see a few possessions in which Matas Buzelis can't shake his man and the ball finds Josh Giddey. Despite being very much improved as a shooter, Giddey is not the player you necessarily want with the ball in his hands as the shot clock is winding down. He doesn't possess the "wiggle," for lack of a better term, that you need at the NBA level to consistently beat your man off the dribble one-on-one. These possessions usually end with the Bulls getting a shot clock violation or a terrible look.

The presence of veteran guard Collin Sexton has helped mitigate this issue, but it is at this point unknown if he is in the Bulls future plans, and frankly, he shouldn't be in their plans if the goal next season is going to be develop youngsters and collect another high draft pick. 

But whether or not Sexton is back, the Bulls need to be thinking about adding a player who can act as their offensive engine. This would allow Giddey to slide into a more reasonable role as a third scorer/primary playmaker, while Buzelis would be an overqualified second option scorer following his crash course in primary option offense this season. 

Let's breakdown how Peterson would fit in Chicago.

Peterson comes into the draft as one of the most impressive scorers in his class. The Kansas star is averaged 20.2 PPG on 57.8% True Shooting, boosted by his 38.2% from the 3-point line and 82.6% from the FT line. Despite a jump shot that may need some fine tuning at the next level, Peterson has managed to sink shots from all over the floor. 

The 14.8 FGAs per game taken by Peterson led the Jayhawks by a full 2.2 FGAs. Perhaps it was strictly his role at Kansas, or perhaps it was how he prefers to play, but Peterson had no qualms about what his role almost mercenary-like scorer. 

Despite the 14.8 FGAs and 20.2 PPG, Peterson only averaged 1.6 assists per game during his time at Kansas. Now the glass half-full version of Peterson's playmaking story tells you that he only averages 1.6 turnovers per game. He isn't setting up his teammates often, but he also isn't hurting the offense by giving the ball up. 

The 3-point shot is what makes Peterson's game so special. He is a true three-level scorer capable of getting off clean looks from midrange or at the rim, but the fact that you have to guard him as soon as he crosses halfcourt makes him tough to contain with one defender. Peterson will pull up for a 3-point shot in transition, off of screens or off the dribble. He was aggressive from deep in what was likely his last game as a college player, knocking down 3-8 (37.5%) from 3-point range.

Peterson would hopefully develop more as a passer at the NBA level, but for now, being able to make the right read out of pick-and-roll actions would suffice as long as he continues to be accurate from deep. He showcased what type of aggressive scorer he is going to be at the NBA level over the course of the NCAA Tournament, in which he averaged 9.5 attempts per game from 3-point range, shooting 36.8%. The almost 10 attempts per game from deep over the course of the NCAA Tournament had opponents guarding Peterson so tightly, that he was able to collect 6.0 FTAs per game, including a whopping 10 free throws against St. John's. 

With Peterson looking like your prototypical high-scoring 2-guard, the main questions about his chances of being a "star" player are pertaining to his ability to be a true two-way player. 

The general public doesn't discuss Peterson's defense much. His offensive game is so exciting and defense usually isn't the most fun thing to breakdown, but Peterson's potential on that end could help him shoot up to No. 1 by the time the draft rolls around. He stands at 6-foot-6 with a wingspan reported to be just under 6-foot-11. 

Peterson's long arms and slender frame would explain the combined 2.0 steals + blocks per game, fueled by his 1.4 SPG average. 

He projects to guard one through three at the NBA level, with a chance that Peterson capably guards some fours as he fills out his frame. What is most intriguing about Peterson defensively is that he gives great effort, something you don't always see from players who carry such a heavy scoring load.

Peterson collected four blocks in his last game with Kansas, and averaged 1.8 steals per game over his last five games. He did a great job of showcasing what a difference maker he can be when locked in defensively. With long arms, elite agility and quickness, Peterson has as good of a chance as any of the top-four projected picks of becoming a true two-way force at the NBA level.
