Help me, Matas Buzelis. You're my only hope.
While the Chicago Bulls may not be looking to their 20-year-old forward to save a galaxy far, far away, they sure are hoping he'll save the mediocrity-laden one in the Windy City.
There has been plenty of frustration around Chicago over the last few seasons. The Bulls finished the 2022-23 campaign with a 42-40 record and followed it up with identical 39-43 marks in 2023-24 and 2024-25. That led to three straight Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament berths but no playoff appearances to speak of.
The franchise is ready to turn the corner with its sophomore forward in the driver's seat.
