Role
Buzelis is the starting power forward and the young Bull with the most to prove. He jumped to 16.3 points and 5.8 rebounds a night in his second season, showing the scoring versatility that made him the 11th pick. The next leap is efficiency and strength: if both come, he is a fringe All-Star candidate.
How he got here
Chicago drafted Buzelis 11th overall in 2024 out of the G League Ignite. He enters his third season as the Bulls' starting power forward.
