Contract Value Index (CVI)
Leonard Miller's two-year, $2.3M AAV extension with the Bulls earns a C CVI — a textbook middling contract that reflects both his current limitations and modest upside potential. At 20 years old, Miller remains a developmental project whose physical tools haven't yet translated into consistent NBA production, making this deal appropriately cautious for a rotational player still finding his footing. The Bulls are essentially buying two years to see if Miller can evolve beyond his current role as a situational contributor, with the contract structured affordably enough that it won't hamstring their flexibility if he doesn't pan out. While the dollar amount provides solid value insurance if Miller takes a leap, the reality is Chicago is paying for potential rather than proven production from a player who's shown flashes but lacks the reliability teams need in meaningful minutes. This type of developmental bet makes sense for a Bulls franchise trying to balance immediate competitiveness with long-term roster building, though Miller will need to show significant improvement to justify even this modest investment. The contract essentially gives Chicago an affordable two-year audition period without major downside risk.
Performance Analysis
Leonard Miller earns a D Performance grade, indicating below-average production relative to other NBA small forwards this season. Through 64 games, Leonard is contributing 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game in his role. Leonard's strongest area is FG% at 56.1, which compares favorably to the small forward median of 46.0. The biggest area for growth is APG at 0.6 (small forward median: 4.0). Among 119 NBA small forwards graded this season, Leonard ranks 99th. At 22, Leonard is still developing. The production should improve as he gains experience and a larger role with the Chicago Bulls.
