    With the eleventh pick in the 24 draft the Chicago bulls go all white starting lineup… I'm done with this organization.

    After seeing the kid play against Cooper Flag and finding out he was a hometown product, I said I'm give him a chance. Couldn't be no worse than another year of Pat Williams at the four.

    I hate what the Bulls have done since MJ and Scottie left but my gut tells me this guy is gonna be a good player.

    From Pound for Pound the best basketball country in the world Lithuania. What a professional comment that was! Buzelis is a product of US basketball system though as Linas Kleiza rightly stated. That aside you can tell he worked hard for this but the hard work only begins. I hope to see him play for LIETUVA someday and win the EUROBASKET. All da best!!!

    Chicago Bulls termasuk beruntung dalam draft pick tahun ini,karna dengan modal pilihan no 11 bisa mendapatkan matas buzelis.
    Seharusnya buzelis ada di top 7.
    Semoga buzelis bisa lebih baik dari Lauri markkanen.

    Selamat utk Bulls 🎉🎉🎉
