Not many players received more praise this preseason than the Chicago Bulls’ sophomore sensation, Matas Buzelis. The 21-year-old wing averaged 17.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 57.4 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from three across Chicago’s five preseason contests.
Following an intriguing rookie campaign, Buzelis showcased a noticeably more refined game throughout the preseason. He played with greater confidence, pushing the ball coast-to-coast and flashing dribble moves rarely seen during his rookie year. Moreover, he increased his three-point volume without sacrificing comfort or efficiency.
