NEW YORK – Billy Donovan explained the pending decision on Friday, but the Bulls made the move official on Sunday, announcing that 12th overall pick Noa Essengue had been assigned to the G League Windy City Bulls.
A deeper dive into the situation with Essengue and it’s apparent that no one should be surprised.
Donovan was asked if this is being treated like a red-shirt year for the 18-year-old French-born forward, and while he wouldn’t go that far, he did say this was the plan for Essengue way back in June, before they even drafted him.
