The Chicago Bulls have made their choice in the 2024 NBA Draft, selecting a kid born in Chicago.
The Chicago Bulls have made their choice in the 2024 NBA Draft.Instead of trading the selection or moving up in the draft, the Bulls stood pat and selected G-League Ignites' Matas Buzelis with the No. 11 overall selection.Buzelis is of Lithuanian descent, but he knows Chicago well. He attended Hinsdale Central High School before attending Sunrise Christian Academy in Kansas and was born in Chicago.Buzelis opted to forgo the college route and played for the G-League Ignite.
He had 44.5/27.3/67.9 shooting splits, as he finished well at the rim but needs to improve his 3-point shooting. Buzelis stands at 6-foot-10, giving the Bulls some length. The first two picks of the draft were two French men: Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr at No. 1 and No. 2 overall, respectively.The Bulls had to wait until No. 11 overall, and had a litany of needs. They needed shooting and help on defense. They need the latter even more so after trading away Alex Caurso.
