It’s just not normal for a six-foot-ten dude to be able to do all of this — let alone at 21 years old.
Matas Buzelis’ versatility has jumped off the screen more and more in this preseason. The Bulls have a real building block here.

Noa Essengue’s length and open floor speed is immediately a big advantage.
He has the potential to be incredibly disruptive on D. You also have to respect his feel for drawing contact.
Has gotten to the line twice in each preseason game. And he’s averaging only 14mins played!

Noa Essengue had a pretty solid debut for the Bulls last night.
Played fewer than 14 MINs but made his presence felt. You can tell his mobility will catch opposing frontcourts off guard. Did a nice job attacking the rim and drawing contact, too.
8 PTS, 5 REB (3 OREB), +12

As fans file in for Part II of Sky-Fever at the United Center, they’re (ironically) greeted by two of the Sky’s biggest stars.
Neither Courtney Vandersloot or Angel Reese will be on the floor. Ariel Atkins and Hailey Van Lith also out. Fever missing Caitlin Clark.
Tough.

Kamilla Cardoso warming up before a meeting with the Dallas Wings, who come in 4th in points per game.
Sky will need her to establish a physical presence on both ends early in this one if they want to secure their first W.

Angel Reese talks learning from a tough season opener against Fever, as well as the support she’s received over the last week.
“Coming back to film, obviously it was a loss, but we knew it was a lot of our own mistakes.”
Another challenge tonight against defending champs.

Angel Reese on main difference coming into Year 2 with revamped roster:
“The togetherness. Last year – I’ve never lost that many games in my life. And even though we lost the other day, it didn’t feel like a loss, it felt like a lesson and things that we can work on.”

Great steal and euro finish for Ariel Atkins during camp scrimmage today.
Her two-way versatility has really stood out in preseason/camp. Sky really needed someone like her on the perimeter to pair with Angel and Kamilla.

Sky legend Courtney Vandersloot is back in familiar territory for her 15th season.
Few players know how to build a winning culture like she does, and that’s what she hopes to bring this young team.

Coby White deserves A LOT of credit for last night.
After going 1-8 with just 6 PTS in the first three quarters, he scored 12 PTS in the 4th on 4-6 shooting.
He stayed locked in and finished some tough buckets when the Bulls needed him most. He's been so good.

You know what's incredible?
The Chicago Bulls missed FOUR total shots in the 4th quarter against LA. They went 15-19, which included 11 made threes.
The shot chart is just mind-boggling. A remarkably clutch finish (also lol look at Giddey's shot).
