In his first season with the Chicago Bulls, second-year point guard Kris Dunn has seen some vast improvement in his individual game.

During this process, he has become a more reliable offensive contributor with an increased reliability in his mid-range to three-point shooting ability, currently hitting 46.1 percent of his attempts from 16 to 24 feet away from the basket, which is more than a 12 percent rise from his rookie campaign.

Despite his preference and reliance on outside shooting, Dunn has voiced that he isn't big on his personal statistics or analytics, according to Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic.

“I'm not big on numbers or analytics,” the Bulls point guard said. “It's other people.”

Dunn also added that he isn't going to change his game even though the growing trend of the league is that the three-point shot is more efficient shot than a mid-range jumper.

“It's an opinionated question,” Dunn said. “For me, it's different. I've always been a mid-range shooter, even in college, high school. That was my game. Driving downhill and being a mid-range shooter. I'm not gonna change it. Chris Paul, he does it. It's an art when he does it. So no one says anything when he's making midrange [shots] all day. So that's what I'm trying to instill in my game.”

This hasn't had a huge impact on his overall production has been a welcoming sight for the Bulls as he's taken full grasp of the starting point guard role averaging 13.1 points on 43.4 percent shooting from the field with 5.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds per contest. This includes recently setting a career-long scoring streak of 10 straight games with double-digit outputs.
 
The 23-year-old has also made it clear in the process that he can be one of the foundational pieces that the Bulls can hopefully build around alongside guard Zach LaVine when he does eventually return from his ACL injury at some point in the near future this season.
