Season in Review: Rookie Chandler Hutchison excels in transition

Over the next month we'll be recapping each of the Bulls' individual 2018-19 regular seasons.

Preseason expectations: There wasn't as much hype surrounding Chandler Hutchison as there was Wendell Carter Jr., but as a 22-year-old rookie there was some expectation that the former could contribute immediately. Pegged as a 3/4 switchable with a strong attack toward the basket and someone able to defend multiple positions, Hutchison was expected to take on a reserve role behind Justin Holiday before ultimately moving to the starting lineup at some point in the rebuilding year.

What went right: Hutchison was never more than a fourth option on the floor, but he didn't force much of anything and finished the season shooting a respectable 45.
