2024 Fantasy Outlook
Buzelis was the No. 11 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft by the Bulls. In Summer League, Buzelis posted 16.4 points and 1.2 threes on 34/21/74 shooting, 4.2 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 2.0 steals, 0.8 assists with 2.4 turnovers in 29.7 minutes. It was clear during Summer League that Buzelis' shooting is still a work in progress, but he was constantly making highlight plays and often looked like the best athlete on the court. Buzelis slipping to No. 11 was a surprise, as he was often mocked in the Top 5. Teams may have gotten scared off by his poor shooting for the G League Ignite - a team so bad the NBA just quietly dissolved it. Buzelis didn't waste any time racking up highlight plays in Summer League. He's dunking on people, crossing people over, euro-step bumping guys out of the way. Buzelis is fast, twitchy and can jump, and he plays with the aggression that every athlete of his caliber should. And while his efficiency wasn't great, he got hacked plenty, averaging 5.4 free-throw attempts per game. NBA teams will dare him to shoot, and we'll see how he fares athletically against the real competition. Aside from that, he needs to do a better job of finding open teammates when he creates advantages. He doesn't necessarily play with tunnel vision, but his awareness is a work in progress. Defensively, he can certainly make plays with his length and athleticism, but he's not a great one-on-one container yet. As it stands, Buzelis should be a staple of the second unit, and a relatively weak second unit at that. There could be a lot of opportunities for him to be the go-to option in those situations.

Out of action vs. Milwaukee
Buzelis (rest) didn't play in Wednesday's 102-96 Summer League win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The Bulls have held Buzelis out for rest reasons earlier in the Summer League, and it appears the team is continuing to manage his reps during exhibition play. Given that the 2024 first-rounder is ticketed for a starting role in Chicago's frontcourt for the 2025-26 campaign, the club will likely remain cautious with Buzelis this summer.
