The Chicago Bulls aren’t one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, but they definitely have a few talented young players looking to make an impact.
One of them is Matas Buzelis, who is about to start his second season in the league.
According to Bulls on CHSN, Kendall Gill predicted huge things for Buzelis in 2025-26.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if he came out this year and we were talking about [Matas Buzelis] making an All-Star team,” Gill said.

During his first season in the league, Buzelis averaged 8.6 points and 3.5 rebounds on 45.4 percent from the field.
He appeared in 80 games and started in 31 of them, playing an average of 18.9 minutes per game.
Buzelis is one of the few young players that the Bulls feel confident about.
They know that they are far from where they want to be, but they think they have potential and promise.
They also know that the Eastern Conference will be wide open in the new season, and they have a chance to climb up the standings.
With the loss of Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton, the East is fluid, and there are opportunities for all teams, even those that performed poorly last year.
The Bulls acquired Buzelis in the 2024 draft, choosing him as the 11th overall pick.
They obviously thought he could be part of the team’s future and gave him plenty of chances to show his skills in his first year.
But now comes the second year, when Buzelis could improve, impress, and possibly even reach All-Star status, according to Gill.
