The Chicago Bulls trudged through their first two summer league contests before impressing in a big way against the Indiana Pacers. The Bulls defeated the Pacers 114-105 behind a 28-point, five-rebound performance from last year's 11th overall pick, Matas Buzelis.
Unfortunately for Bulls fans, Buzelis will be shut down for the remainder of the exhibition season. In his summer league cameo, Buzelis totaled 22.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.5 blocks while putting his overlooked handle and on-ball creation on full display.
Aside from Buzelis, this year's 12th overall selection turned in a breakout performance despite being the talk of social media following an ill-advised contest on a poster dunk.
