The Bulls Might’ve Stolen the Best Player of the 2024 Draft

Matas Buzelis was drafted by the Chicago Bulls with the 11th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, and in his limited playing time throughout the season, the rookie forward has been a huge help for the Bulls. Not only has Matas Buzelis been able to operate in an off-ball role alongside Josh Giddey and Coby White, but he’s also been able to flash some of that star caliber upside that I believe he has.

2:11 dyson daniels is going to be all nba defense. Jalen Green is the leading scorer on the 2 seed in the west… not that bad of a track record for the ignite imo
Why is EU players so hard to grade?
Dyson Daniels has been saving us so much out here in Atlanta
Glad to see Troy Bolton getting his recognition!! 💪💪
nah castle is better, offensively and defensively… sugarcoat much
It isnt ready yet but he did do a step back in the summer league, i have no reason to believe that wont come a long in the future
spurs could have picked buzelis but they got traumatized by luka samanic
As a Celtics fan, I remember how skinny Tatum looked in his first few seasons in the NBA, then one day I saw him standing next to Al Horford on the broadcast and was shocked that Tatum looked damn near the same size
trash manu ftw
Buzelis' Dynasty:
1. Elena Buzelienė. Paternal grandmother. Top-10 Lithuanian women's handball player of all time.
2. Matas Buzelis. Good potential to climb higher
3. Virginijus Jankauskas. Maternal grandfather. Played in top Lithuanian basketball team Zalgiris' frontline with Arvydas Sabonis in the 80s
4. Petras Buzelis. Paternal grandfather. Zalgiris guard and eventually captain in 50s and 60s
5. Kristina Jankauskaite. Mother. Member of Lithuanian youth basketball national teams. Four time Lithuanian fitness champion
6. Aidas Buzelis. Father. Professional basketball player in the 90s
7. Vincas Buzelis. Brother. South Dakota recruit
This won’t age well stop hyping him up
I’ve been a Matas fan for a bit now. I wanted my Hornets to draft him. If he keeps working hard he’s gonna be a stud, for sure.
I picked bro up on my fantasy team yesterday lets hope hes as amazing as you think
Buzelis is great. I don’t know that he’s the player with the highest ceiling in this draft (Sarr, Clingan, and Castle in particular stand out among the top ten, plus plenty of promising guys lower down), but he’s up there for sure. Andrei Kirilenko with a reliable perimeter shot is probably a multiple-time All-Star, and that’s where Buzelis is headed right now. I want to see him develop a post game to bully mismatches, as he’ll get tons between his length and agility.
Dw they’ll trade him to okc for a second round pick
I never would have thought the bulls would be lead and dominated by white boys. Word up!
Stephon Castle is gonna end being the best player in this draft but Buzeilis is a dawg too
Jared McCain???????????????
His game reminds me of a young utah jazz Gordon Hayward.
Wow the 6’10 that can pass/dribble/shoot with a 40” vert is a stud who would have thought. He even showed some rim protection ability. I wanted him so bad at 7 for my Blazers
Lil Buzi Vert 💪
I'm pretty sure he was projected to go top 5 in the mock drafts last year so I say he's definitely a good player.
That's just bad work or bad faith. Risacher and Sarr are better players.
The NBA compromises certain players and put others on a pedistal I hope this changes
Have they played the 5 white boy lineup yet? Giddey, Huerter, Matas, Collins, and Vuc lol. That's a legit lineup they could actually put out there.
How TF did the jazz miss this pick at 9
Who actually says let me put bulls on 😅😅 this not no Drose or Jordan days you talking bout a peddy team who like kids we don’t care for no bulls
Lol we did😂
….or not.
been bulls fan since kirk i hope we do good keep doing good
The dumbest thing in the world is the spurs coulda just took him but they outsmarted themself and traded the 8 pick for a f u c k ing pick 6 years from now.
Best player from this draft. MODERN MANU GINOBILI
Not a single Rookie of the Month. Reminds me of Jan Vesely. Sarr for me has the highest ceiling while Castle is the most impactful. And with Risacher as close 2nd.
I think Buzelis plays like a superstar, I don't care about stats, points, etc..
bro is like a version of cooper flagg with less defense but a bit more athleticism. Go BuziVert
best replacement for M Jordan 😂
future lakers starting 5 luka reeeves knect buzelis walker kessler lol
Bro Ron Holland, Matas Buzelis, n Stephon Castle can really be stars from this draft
GOD BLESS YOU ALEX IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS NAME AMEN JESUS LOVES AND CARES FOR YOU
Nice to see the Bulls draft their own version of Lauri Markkanen. Oh 😅
Thanks!
I vividly remember he was #1 on several draft boards at the beginning of the season before he was drafted. He was one of only a few names I recognized.
There was no secret that Buzelis was gonna be incredible. I literally started punching the air when my Spurs didn’t take him with our 7th round pick
