So Brad said that the Cs have been interested in Kornet for a while, not just because he can shoot but because of Kornet's PnR defense.
I thought that was odd but I did find this article -
https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/bulls-player-preview-luke-kornet-brings-unique-skill-set-bench -that discussed the Bulls' signing of Kornet before last season and two quotes struck me
It's hard to extract much from Kornet's 2019 based on how dysfunctional the Knicks were, but he put together a solid stretch to close the year, averaging 12.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in 28.7 minutes over the final seven games of the season.
and
Kornet is unusual in that he's a 3-point shooting big who is really talented on the defensive end. He's not Channing Frye, Dirk Nowitzki or Kelly Olynyk. We'll get to the 3-point shooting later, but consider for now that the Knicks were 6.8 points per 100 possession better defensively with Kornet on the floor. His 0.9 blocks per game won't jump out, but he also accumulated those swats in just 17.0 minutes per game. His 4.5% block rate was equal to Wendell Carter's and he had seven games of three or more blocks. His Defensive RPM was 6th in the NBA among power forwards (2.27) and ahead of names such as Jaren Jackson and Pascal Siakam. Kornet isn't a stiff. He's going to give Jim Boylen options on the second unit on whether the Bulls want to emphasize offense (Daniel Gafford) or defense (Luke Kornet).
If Kornet gets to play, it will be interesting to see if he really has any skills on defense or whether the past #s were a SSS fluke. He doesn't strike me as someone whose PnR defense would stand out but it intrigues me that Brad pointed it out.
