CLEVELAND – Feet to fire, Matas Buzelis would embrace getting more minutes at the smaller forward spot these days.
The reality of the situation for the Bulls, however, is that’s not a luxury they can always provide. At least not with the current roster construction.
On paper, Patrick Williams was drafted and then extended for $90 million to carry the muscle in the frontcourt through the 2028-29 season. Williams has played 16 total minutes in the back-to-back wins over Cleveland, scoring two points and going rebound-less. It’s safe to say it’s still not working out.
