It has been only five games with the Bulls, but the journeyman guard has upped the ante, averaging 13 points in just 22.2 minutes. That included his dynamic 19-point fourth quarter Tuesday against the Hornets in an offensive system Kilpatrick readily admits he still doesn’t always know where to go. “He fits well with what we try to do as far as creating long closeouts and getting into the paint,” coach Fred Hoiberg said.
“He’s not afraid of any moment. He’s hitting big shots. He competes at the other end as well. He’s getting to the rim. He’s getting to the free-throw line. We’re spacing the floor and he’s driving and attacking.”
