He also wasn't afraid to keep shooting after he got his layups blocked three times. They weren't just deflections, they were slamming the ball right back down on him.

He's 6'10 with a RARE mindset when it comes to his approach to playing the game of basketball. Absolutely fearless, doesn't let a missed shot bother him and he's ultra-competitive. Buzelis is quite literally the opposite of PWill and I still think PWill has potential but he better lock in this year.

If he doesn't change or learn to shoot from multiple set points he's going to need to be fearless because he's going to miss a lot more shots than he makes. A few games in and every white board is going to say sit on his right shoulder or close to his right shoulder and that motion is about as fast as grass growing in a drought...

@@trainerrob1622 I think that's why his mindset is so good for the bulls to have. Buzelis has a work ethic and the Bulls have a staff that can work out a lot of the kinks with his game. You don't have to worry about building up his confidence to take shots or try different things, because he already has that instilled with him to want to get better.

@@tttv5019 The final highlight is a play the coaching staff is going to show when teaching guys how not to close out and that's why these kids are playing in summer league... Lost sight of man and ball, bad tracking, took a bad angle and got himself in about as bad a position as possible before Matas even moved and this highlights exactly my point. The kid took such a bad angle on the closeout If Matas didn't need to set the da** thing so far onto his right shoulder he wouldn't have even needed to put the ball on the deck. Before he even moved the kids right foot is in-between Matas body. He's in no man's land and giving him both left and right. He's taking away nothing. If I want to really get into it, its a bad decision by Matas. Defender is beat on the catch, his help was also sealed and didn't attempt to swim or rip, that should have been once bounce and a finish at the cup.

Buzelis is so good. He is 6 foot 9. He can do Uber athletic dunks and layups. He can shoot the lights out. He can create his own shots. He is coordinated on defence. The Bulls definitely got a steal with this pick.

He won't be an Allstar, but I don't get you guys hating. There's already enough to disprove any of your talking points, like his college stats. Been much worse picked much higher, every year. You can claim nepotism, but his last game showed he can play. And it was the 55th pick. I just think people want to hate because they're jealous
