This Move Could Be HUGE For The Bulls…

Multiple reports have surfaced talking about some veterans that the Bulls should pick up on the buyout Market but no young players have thought to even be there that team should pick up we’re going to actually talk about chimzi metu in this episode of bulls digest and why

I think the Bulls would be foolish not to pick him up with their needs right now I’m your host Joy Mercer this is another episode of bulls digest and before we get into it there today I just want to say that about 80% of you that watch these videos are not subscribed to

Bulls and all the news that you need to know on them so without further Ado let’s get in the topic at hand there today and that is Young Talent on the buyout market now it’s not too often that you get young players that can actually be serviceable on the buyout

Market but this is definitely a rare case that’s happened that I didn’t expect to happen myself I thought that this player chimi metu of course was going to stay with the Phoenix Suns but they seem to want B Bowl instead for whatever reason I guess they kind of

Like that raw talent but he’s not getting any younger and metu seemed like a very solid option for them now that he’s available he has been linked to the Bulls and I really do think that they should pick him up the article started out by saying should the Bulls try to

Side chesi metu as a potential biotarget at least one NBA analysts think so so even considering the big men already on the Bulls roster admitting the retention of Andre Drummond at the NBA’s 2024 trade deadline would make such a Pursuit unlikely bleacher Bleacher Nation sorry Eli Schuster writes that metu big man

Plays hard and moves well despite the fact that isn’t a threat to score much still the 6’9 combo big will crash the glass and score pretty efficiently around the rim when given the run to do so and ch Chicago would have the time split between the four and five Chicago

Bulls lack true size behind both Nicole a vuvi and Drummond so I wouldn’t mind them using their open roster spot on another big man and he can technically play both front Court positions writes Schuster and I think he definitely can play power forward he isn’t a very heavy

Player he’s about 6′ n we’re going to be breaking down everything you need to know on him later in this video but I do think that it’s some good insurance at least at the center position but we all also do need a power forward especially with Patrick Williams down and even if

Patrick Williams is in the lineup it’s better to have another power forward there and William should realistically be playing the three anyways the next thing we saw in this was considering he is just 26 years old and can connect at a high rate enough rate from the free

Throw line that his outside shot is not Beyond hope we would be up for such a move there could be better fits out there but if the interests were mutual he is young enough to play a deep rotation role for the the Bulls and I definitely have to agree I mean his

Shots been up and down it could have to do with the system he had a solid year a few years ago with the Kings I’m very limited attempts from three but he is a solid mid-range shooter so I could expect his three to develop still I just

Think it takes the right situation and as the guy has stretched the floor a little bit but still finished around the rim that’s a pretty good talent on the offensive end we look at him he actually has that little tornado there in uh the yellowish gold color and that means that

He has one of the best deflection rates for Center in the entire NBA he is currently on Memphis or last was on it and he seems like a player that is going to go to the Chicago Bulls through the buyout market now his height is 6’8 and

He’s 225 lbs but with a 71 wingspan he’s 26 years old and his in that trade of course that I was very confused of that matu went to the Grizzlies they just simply waved him so why not just pick him up if you’re the Chicago Bulls as I just mentioned the

Positional size isn’t as great as you can see he would be better suited at the four but in a league today where things are getting smaller you can definitely play him at the five when we go and look at more of his stats here you can see that this season

He was putting up Five Points three rebounds half an assist half a steal and only point2 blocks he is definitely not a guy that’s going to block shots another reason I think he could be better at the power forward position only picking up about one foul game but

Only playing 12 minutes so that has to be taken into account if you’re looking at per 36 numbers it’s pretty simple in multiplication as you times those by three he’ be putting up 15 points per game nine rebounds per 36 which is about average but at 51% from the field 29

From three although he is shooting them but we looked just a few years ago in 2022 he’s shooting 31% which is not great but it’s showing that he is definitely willing to stretch the floor he struggled last year a lot of 24% but the year before was at 35 on just one

Attempt let me add but the mid-range is still very good and I think with the in the right system he could develop that three ball still uh I do think he has the right shooting stroke for it and has shown his ability uh I just think it

Takes the right situation for him and at 88% from the free throw line Al be once again on 1.2 attempts still a very solid player that if he’s getting fouled you would expect him to convert where he is 78% on his entire career I hope the three-point percentage could go up but

Even if it doesn’t I do think that he’s a player that can stretch with that deep mid and uh would definitely be a solid we’re talking about deep rotation players now with chimzi metu and uh yeah I think he could definitely make some noise the next part we’re going to look

At of course is the advanced metric onesi metu we know what he’s putting up overall and even per 36 as I just mentioned and we could see there that his true shooting percentage is actually in the 79th % on the league largely imp part to the fact that he’s shooting 88%

From the line his shot quality is above League average slightly at 59th percentile he gets to the line a healthy amount for the minutes that he plays at the 69th percentile and aamps about leag average three pointers for the center position his offensive rebounding is not

Very good largely in part to his height and then when he tries to create he turns it over it’s not very good you just want this guy spotting up let me tell you the load management or the amount of low that he carries on the offensive Anor is a 37th percentile so

Not that much creation not that much portability is just below League average and his passer rating is not very good it’s almost non-existent offense is not necessarily the thing that I’d be looking at with him this is why I wanted to bring these things up when we look at

His defense he’s actually in the 64th percentile for crafted defensive plus minus his deflections in the 77th percentile that’s great Rim frequency is high at the 79th percent block percentage is about League average and his Rim defense is not very good but he is willing to get in there and that’s

Definitely one of those situations this could have a lot to do with the fact that Phoenix doesn’t really have any bigs and we’re having to play him in some situations but the rim defense is very low but at least he’s willing to get down there but it seems like he can

Definitely pick some things up on the perimeter based on the deflections and his defensive turnovers that he causes 63rd percentile and still the 63rd percenti on defensive rebounds is still very solid his versatility is quite high and he doesn’t foul too often it’s almost League average but a little tiny

Bit better and that is a very solid player in chimzi metu on the defensive end and that’s something that we could definitely use on the Bulls uh where Drummond isn’t the greatest guy on defense he’s still very solid and V has picked some things up at The Rim

Protecting front for the Bulls but now with metu at the power for position that could add something that we really need on this team and if that shooting stroke comes around he could could be an absolute steal in the bio Market that I think the Bulls will be foolish to pass

Up take a swing on this guy I believe it we can actually see his usage charts because he’s a current NBA player and his spot up is basically all he does it’s that and cutting and that’s exactly what you want out of a deep rotational

Big and you can see that he’s matched up mostly against power forwards so we’re not seeing a lot with center but he actually guards small forwards more than centers which is why it’s important to look into these stats he can guard the power forward in small forward positions

And that is something that’s very versatile as a Defender I was very surprised by those defensive matchup charts and to see that those uh matchups have led to the numbers that he’s put up is very good to see I think that’s somebody the Bulls need to take seems

Like he could be a defensive uh presence for sure stretch the floor a little bit and I think the Bulls would be foolish not to pick him up once again I want to hit the nail on the head with that point this for your host Joey Mercer let me

Know what you think about ch met to down below or who the Bulls should pick up if not him on the bio Market it seems as if someone’s getting picked up every second day so they need to act fast if you did like the video however go down hit the
