Can Chandler Hutchison be the long-term answer at small forward?

You remember the stories leading up to the 2018 NBA Draft. The Bulls reportedly made a promise to Chandler Hutchison and his agent that they would take the Boise State forward with the 22nd pick and asked him to cancel any pre-draft workouts he had planned.

When draft night arrived, the Bulls took Duke center Wendell Carter Jr. at #7 and then added Hutchison at #22. Their hope at the time was both players would eventually develop into long time starters, joining Lauri Markkanen in a young, athletic frontcourt.

Unfortunately, both Carter Jr. and Hutchison have had their development affected by injuries.
