The Chicago Bulls are reportedly undecided if starting point guard Kris Dunn is part of the team's core moving forward, according to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times.

The Bulls acquired Kris Dunn from the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Jimmy Butler trade in the summer of 2017. The third-year guard has only played in four games this season due to a knee injury. He is averaging 11.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest while shooting 47.6 percent from the field, 22.2 percent from beyond the arc and 100.0 percent from the free-throw line.

Dunn just had his best performance of the season, a 24-point showing in a 98-93 comeback victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night. Dunn scored the last six points to seal the victory.

A report surfaced over the summer claiming that Chicago's front office was unimpressed with Dunn's work ethic over the offseason, although Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations John Paxson refuted the rumor. In 52 games in his first season with the Bulls last year, Dunn averaged 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists and shot 42.9 percent from the floor and 32.1 percent from the 3-point line.

Kris Dunn is making $4.2 million this season. He has a club option worth $5.3 million for next year. Cameron Payne and Ryan Arcidiacono aren't better than Dunn, but it looks the Bulls just want to see more consistency from him before they commit long term to the rugged defender out of Providence.
