Longtime NBA veteran believes Bulls' Matas Buzelis is 'going to be one of the greats'

This past week, the Chicago Bulls faced the Denver Nuggets in their fourth preseason matchup of the year, falling 121-117 in the Mile High City. The game featured a clear difference in dynamic between Denver's older and more experienced roster against Chicago's younger and more energetic lineup. While the Bulls came up short, one player stole the spotlight: second-year forward Matas Buzelis.

Buzelis didn't even just look improved heading into his sophomore campaign, he's simply looked like an All-Star. In just 20 minutes of action, he put up 20 points and three rebounds, while also blocking five shots and shooting 7-of-12 from the field.
