Last offseason, the Bulls made a deal to send Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Josh Giddey. While the young guard couldn't make the fit work on a contender in Oklahoma City, Giddey's move to Chicago opened an opportunity to find success.

Giddey, a versatile 6-foot-8 22-year-old, has given the Bulls and their fans hope for the immediate future. He's averaging 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists a game this season, and he has improved as an outside shooter by making 37.8% of his 3-point attempts.

The Chicago Bulls delivered a decisive blow Wednesday in a 119-111 win over the Miami Heat, extending a one-game advantage for the No. 9 seed.
