Matas Buzelis possesses something no Bulls prospect has since Jimmy Butler

Related Topics: Matas Buzelis, Jimmy Butler

Matas Buzelis isn't shy about saying what he wants to accomplish with the Bulls. Before the season, he said bluntly that he wants to win Most Improved Player and that he wants the Bulls to win a championship because, "You should be going for that every year. I don't care what kind of team you have. You should be striving and having big dreams for every year that you're in the NBA..."

He said it with his chest. And that's beautiful. The quasi-brashness, the public confidence in himself and his team, and the work ethic (which Buzelis certainly seems to possess) to back up any bold claims is reminiscent of a young Jimmy Butler.
