The Chicago Bulls continue to make moves to improve the roster as free agency gets going. The team has called upon former Phoenix Sun forward Torrey Craig. The deal is for two years with a player option after the first year.

Craig comes to the Bulls averaging 7.4 PPG, 5.4 RPG, and 1.5 APG. He will have the greatest impact behind the arc on offense. Craig shot 39.5% from the three-point line last season. On the defensive end of the ball, Craig can guard multiple positions, something the Bulls so desperately needed.
