ANALYSIS: Some experts believed the Bulls to get a gem when they nabbed Tony Snell with the 20th pick in this year's draft. An athletic specimen out of New Mexico (whose team went 79-26 and won two conference championships while he was there) had to earn the trust of veteran coach Tom Thibodeau before he'd see the court as much as a gem would need. Considering the string of 30 minute games Snell received before the break, the trust may be there now. Snell scored at least 19 points in three of his last four game while putting up just under 4 three pointers a game in those contests, and considering he's only 23 and in slow offense as the fifth option most nights, defenses can very well lay off him before scouting reports catch up to his production. The Bulls wingman could quite possibly be the add of the second half. Of course, he could also frustrate Thibs tomorrow and find himself on the bench for ten straight games. Nonetheless, keep an eye on this dude.
