The Chicago Bulls didn't draft Noa Essengue with the expectation that he would be a day one starter or make a big immediate impact. He's 18 years old, and although he has stunning physical attributes, his lack of experience was always going to be his biggest obstacle to overcome early.
So, no, you shouldn't panic about Noa Essengue after three weeks — although it's fair to get a little nervous when watching Derik Queen, the player taken one spot after Essengue, start to break out in New Orleans.
Queen has seen his minutes per game increase in the past five games, and he's delivered with that added responsibility.
