Bulls forward Matas Buzelis knew Rookie of the Year honors were out of reach by the end of the regular season.
The All-Rookie team, however? He wasn’t shy about wanting to put an individual achievement in his trophy case.
‘‘Any type of award in the NBA, I’d like,’’ Buzelis, the 11th overall pick in the draft last June, said matter-of-factly last month. ‘‘Yeah, I think I belong on that All-Rookie team, for sure. It would be an honor to grab something like that.’’
Consider it done.
The NBA announced its All-Rookie teams Tuesday.
