Buzelis is not given 30 minutes. Plus, each player develops own pace. Upside is there. Trust me. Giannis was 6.8ppg player per 25mpg in his first season. -
Matas is different than Poku or let alone Bender. Much more fluid athlete, much more body control and skill. It's different tier. Matas is that special tier player per profile as Franz, Kirilenko. Rumor is he's working fairly. Meaning - he'll be a stud.Originally posted by Toruko View PostLeave a comment:

Its all about what you expect from your guy. He has good physical tools but those players who are tall and play with the ball are always high risk high reward players. They mostly end up like Pokusevski or Bender but if they pan out they become a hell of a weapon.Originally posted by Straight forward View PostLeave a comment:

It's Bulls. They are not emphasizing rookies development of re-build. That's the only reason. It's not about numbers now. Watching the tape is everything. None from rookies drop 18-20ppg now, even those who playing 25ppg. That doesn't mean they are trash.Originally posted by Toruko View Post
Bleashreport is right giving Matas -A. I would be OK with +B as well, but he showed me 95% what I expected. A bit more playing time I expected, but I didn't expect him to be so good defensively and so not hesitant with three. All good signs. He will be a stud. Zero doubt. Zero.Leave a comment:

I havent watched a game of him but the common sense would be to give a drafted guy minutes if he is ready. I mean a fgp of 37% is not promising rn. I mean he is young and has at least two more years to adapt. Not from his game style but from the stats I expect him to become a player like Dani Avdija in the average case.Originally posted by Straight forward View Post
No, it doesn't mean that. There are worse players who get way more playing time, literally. Read that bleachreport that I shared and watch tapes. He shows tons of promise and is amazing at defense on constant basis. He literally has everything to succeed and shows enough of it to realize that's coming. SS is a dummy, and you are passive aggressive towards LTU BB which is fair (as we oppose in FIBA soil) and I understand you

nba.com one most experience experts Steve Aschburner ranking:
(All stats through Monday, Dec. 23)
1. Stephon Castle, San Antonio Spurs
Season stats: 11.6 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 3.8 apg
Last Ladder: 1
Draft pick: No. 4
Castle’s floor presence and defense keep him on top despite offensive inconsistency. He has shot worse in December than in November, and at 38.9% overall, he’s lagging compared to past ROY winners. The only trophy winner since 1958 to shoot less than 40% was Jason Kidd in 1995, who shared the ROY with Grant Hill after helping Dallas boost its victory total by 23.
2. Yves Missi, New Orleans Pelicans
Season stats: 9.7 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 1.2 bpg
Last Ladder: 3
Draft pick: No. 21
Missi had his fingerprints all over the Pelicans’ exciting but unsuccessful overtime loss to Denver on Sunday. He had 21 points on 9-of-12 shooting, nine rebounds and three blocks, including a swat of Nikola Jokić’s layup with a minute left in the extra session. At the end, like so many veterans, Missi couldn’t properly execute an intentional free throw miss. He’s progressing through all the losing.
3. Jaylen Wells, Memphis Grizzlies
Season stats: 11.4 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 1.7 apg
Last Ladder: 4
Draft pick: No. 39
Wells has started 25 games – the rest of the second-rounders in the Class of 2024 have started a total of 15. He’s the only one of the second-rounders averaging more than 6.4 points, and he ranks third overall among the rookies. He also has the best plus/minus total (107).
4. Alexandre Sarr, Washington Wizards
Season stats: 11.2 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 1.8 bpg
Last Ladder: 5
Draft pick: No. 2
One of the good things about rookies is, if you’re unhappy with something, give ‘em time. Sarr shot 37% overall and 24.4% from deep through November, but he’s hitting 45.6% and 42.9% this month.
5. Zach Edey, Memphis Grizzlies
Season stats: 10.6 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 1.1 bpg
Last Ladder: 8
Draft pick: No. 9
The big Grizzly is climbing back toward the top after a week in which he averaged 7.0 points, 9.3 boards and 1.3 blocks. He also earned respect points for not backing down vs. Warriors irritant Draymond Green.
The Next 5:
6. Zaccharie Risacher, Atlanta Hawks
Season stats: 10.6 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 1.1 apg
Last Ladder: 6
Draft pick: No. 1
If starting in the NBA as the top pick in his class was one dream, playing for the French national team is the next. “Every competitor wants to win medals for their country,” he said recently.
7. Bub Carrington, Washington Wizards
Season stats: 8.9 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 3.8 apg
Last Ladder: 7
Draft pick: No. 14
Scored 14 with 4-of-8 from the arc Monday vs. OKC but exited early with an apparent upper-body injury.
8. Tristan da Silva, Orlando Magic
Season stats: 8.3 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.4 apg
Last Ladder: Not ranked
Draft pick: No. 18
Stepping up into Magic’s injury void, came up big with 18 points and 3-point dagger in W vs. Boston Monday.
9. Ajay Mitchell, Oklahoma City Thunder
Season stats: 5.7 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 1.7 apg
Last Ladder: Not ranked
Draft pick: No. 38
Good news: Overachiever contributing to winning. Bad news: He already has played more than half (28) of the 50 games allowed for guys on two-way contracts.
10. Ja’Kobe Walter, Toronto Raptors
Season stats: 8.9 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 1.6 apg
Last Ladder: Not ranked
Draft pick: No. 19
Walter is the latest of the Raptors’ kiddie corps to grab a rung after averaging 16.7 points on 11.0 shots and 25.7 minutes last this.

I expected much more as well. Not getting more playing time in Chicago means that you are not ready to perform in the NBA. He needs to transform his body otherwise he will be one of those high drafted but never panned out players like Bender or other bigs.Leave a comment:

Poor man can face reality check and want to stay in his own fantasy bubble.Where Buzelis is some kind special rookie game changer that will safe lithuania basketball.
When recent signs indicates red flags in fallen draft position,in first 30game play,in rankings of people who is getting paid to do that.
This is not my rankings.Im just copy paste of nba experts rankings .Why you upset at me?
Im not coppying stats,im coppying expert opinion who dont just look at stats,they look at overall picture what is happening by being around nba every day
Im simply man im objectively looking what most experts is saying and making my own understanding. Right now Buzelis is not top 10 rookie after 30 games.
He still have 50 games to make it.But he need to step up his game.
Historically looking most great todays nba europeans made or 1st or 2nd all rookie nba teams in last decade.Leave a comment:

Dude, you're acting exactly like Hepcat. Looking just at stats. Look at minutes played, the role, the team's strength and all that stuff. Bulls are trying to win. Give Buzelis constant 25mpg and he will be among top 5 rookies to win the ROY. If you don't get it, I'm sorry for you. Anyway, I'm wasting my time. Your brain is collapsing. I won't school you here as naked 3 years old here providing things that goes without saying for anyone who has any sensibility. Just please, go speak with Hepcat and such level posters here. It's really annoying when you shit with nonsense here. Go watch basketball. You're clueless.Originally posted by Shawshank View Postthats how looks usa top 10 bets on winning 2024 rookie of the year after first 2 months

somehow ale top 6 Buzelis is not even in top 10
Buzelis need to step up his game and stats in big way in last 50games to make atleast 2nd all nba rookie team and be top 10 rookie in 2024.
Being 19th in scoring wont do it.Leave a comment:

Dude, what is wrong with you? Even I don't believe that your are that bad. You seriously watch Buzelis and don't see nothing? Like literally? Dude...Originally posted by Shawshank View Post
Anyway, for sensible persons who can still see anything at least a bit, Buzelis among best 6 rookies so far and with best star upside in his draft class:
