Fred Hoiberg remembers recruiting a pint-sized point guard out of Detroit’s Pershing High School.
The way the Bulls coach remembers it, that electrifying playmaker picked Oakland University over his former Iowa State Cyclones.
Five years later, Kay Felder chose Hoiberg and the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls on Monday signed Felder, the high-flying, 5-foot-9 guard, after he was waived by Atlanta. In Chicago, Felder will add depth to a backcourt that begins the 2017-18 season decimated by injuries.
Hoiberg on Tuesday labeled Felder “dynamic,” “explosive” and “fearless.” He also credited Felder for being an instinctive player who is good at both running pick-and-roll and penetrating into the paint to collapse defenses.
