It’s not Noa Essengue’s fault.
After all, the Bulls fell on the 18-year-old Frenchman, he didn’t fall on them.
Yet, here we are at about the quarter mark of the regular season after Saturday’s tilt with Indiana, and of all 14 lottery selections from the highly vaunted 2025 NBA draft class, Essengue (selected No. 12) has seen the least amount of floor time and it’s not even close.
Again, not his fault.
What he is, however, is a by-product of a Bulls front office that works from a place of very little urgency, if any.
