Damn, Karnisovas has actually been one of the worst GMs in the NBA...:I Said, I like him a ton as a baller and person, but he doesn't dig it or Bulls owner doesn't, either way. Karnisovas still speaks about play in while they must tank. He basically didn't do anything in the trading window and the only way for Bulls to become a good team is new picks. Next draft is great and he could get some pieces, but Bulls are sleeping. I just don't know if it's Karnisovas or the owner of Bulls. I think he just adjusts to whatever owner wants to keep his job. While in the eyes of BB community, Buzelis is the only good thing Karnisovas did recently.

16pts as a starter again. Matas will bounce back into ROY conversation with this, IMO. He doesn't need the bulk. Some of his drives are already physical enough, he moves people with his burst and explosiveness. No need to slow your feet with extra mass. Love his current situation, balling and experiencing what he has to. Perfect situation.

Buzelis says that big summer awaits for him, like working on his game and adding bulk. When I hear that bulk moment I creep out remembering JV's first off season. And JV will be a lot with Matas in the off seasonGot bless, Matas, just don't put that stupid mass on. Just work very gradually on lean muscle, there's no point to push it for it. Stay agile and explosive. It will the key moment cause you can easily fuck up all of this and from super Saric you can become whatever the fuck there is Saric f.e. And I'm wondering if NT commitment is 100% safe at this point. It's probably not. He may feel that he wants to work on his game and Bulls would kinda suggest to do that instead of FIBA. I wouldn't dramatize that, it makes sense (and Domas did that in his first off season), but I still hope to see Matas with NT jerseys 2025 EB.

Buzelis with the first start and finished with 14pts. I liked 3 blocks, 3 steals. Nice to see all this. Hopefully Bulls draft Jakucionis, it would be good for the NT cause now Bulls seem to be pretty determined to tank. He would play as a back-up for Giddey for a year or two and then hopefully would start. KJ hit the roookie wall now (maybe he should party here and there after all?), but he'll bounce back.
Sabonis playing with JV won't hurt also, looking forward to EB 2025. Not very relevant long term anymore though.

Also Matas Buzelis is the youngest player in NBA history to score 20+ PTS without ANY misses.

Not very competitive games but still a good chance to get used to the league.Anyway, this shift of Bulls is very convenient for Buzelis and the NT. I'm not entirely sure he's getting +20 consistently still, but his playing time at the very least should be +15 each night now and that's OK for the first season. He should have several +20 performances as well playing bigger role. Just be out there and learn. No-one will be too disappointed with couple of horrible games too. So he's in perfect situation to learn now.
