Chicago Bulls promising young rookie makes franchise history
The Chicago Bulls are entering what could hopefully be a short rebuild after trading away their star, Zach LaVine.
With other pieces left to trade before Thursday’s deadline, the Bulls could still be active and trade away more players.
One player the Bulls will not be trading away is their 20-year-old rookie sensation Matas Buzelis, who made history for the Bulls in their 133-124 victory over the Miami Heat last night.
Chicago Bulls rookie makes history
Buzelis made history for the Bulls last night, becoming the first rookie in Bulls franchise history to shoot 100% from the floor on at least 10 shot attempts, per the Bulls X account.
“Matas Buzelis is SPECIAL.
Matas is the first rookie in Bulls franchise history to shoot 100% FG on at least 10 shots.”

Not only was Buzelis perfect from the field, but he was also perfect from behind the arc, draining all four of his three-pointers. From a scoring aspect, Buzelis had a tremendous game, adding 24.0 points with 2.0 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in a career-high 31 minutes of action.
The Bulls have a talented player on their hands
The talented 6-10 forward has all the earmarks of being a star in the NBA. Buzelis was asked to be a part of the NBA Dunk Contest where, if he performs, he can further make himself a future star in the league. For the season, Buzelis is averaging 13.6 minutes, scoring 5.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and averaging 0.8 blocks a game.
Buzelis recently had his minutes increased by head coach Billy Donovan and was named the Bull’s sixth man. Buzelis has excelled in that role, and with further trades possibly happening, Buzelis could see more games of 31 minutes.
A centerpiece for the rebuild
Buzelis’s size and athleticism make him such a special talent. With those abilities, he is giving the Bulls a good reason to make him the centerpiece of their franchise.
With the ability to score off the dribble, rebound, shoot the three, and more importantly, score in the paint, Buzelis is someone the Bulls can turn to as a scoring option.
Still only 20 years old, Buzelis has a lot to prove once the league adjusts to him. However, with the mindset Buzelis has, he can figure it out.
With more trades still to come, the Bulls rookie has a lot more room to shine and get more time out on the court.
