The Chicago Bulls have selected Matas Buzelis with the No. 11 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft on Wednesday night. Buzelis, a 19-year-old forward from the G League Ignite, is a native of Chicago and an alumnus of Hinsdale Central. Known for his versatility at 6-foot-9, Buzelis has significant potential but needs to improve his outside shot, especially as he pairs with Josh Giddey. His selection marks an emotional moment as he returns to his hometown team. Buzelis expressed his gratitude, stating, 'I’m blessed, man. This is what I wanted. I wanted to be here. Thank you to the Bulls organization. I’m ready to work. I was born for this.'

Matas Buzelis getting drafted by the Bulls is pretty cool. Born in Chicago, and grew up in Illinois. Huge upside as a 6-9 versatile forward but it becomes even more important though his shot comes along getting paired with Josh Giddey though. Can only have so many iffy shooters.
