I don't know enough about our cap situation with vs. without DDR, but if we straight just let him walk all we really, really need to round out the roster somewhat is an athletic center.
We will definitely need shooters and other things longer term, no doubt. But the only hugely glaring hole would be a 5 who can run and elevate.
It's just a bizarre line given we don't really have cap room unless they renounce Demar and PWill. So that leaves S+T stuff or the MLE.
We're waiting to see who is available on the MLE? That doesn't seem like a pivotal factor but hey I'm not a moron. So we'll see what AK does.

I wouldn't mind putting Javonte on that squad for more athleticism and cutting.
Defense isn't ideal. Buzelis blocks shots but he needs to get A LOT stronger to not get bullied in the post.
Either way, it's an intriguing squad and I might have to tune in next season for what will almost certainly be a more fun team to watch.

Javontae would be fun with Giddey running the show.

Some quotes from the AK presser. Buckle up, I suppose. Lets see what he can cook up.

There were rumors of a private workout with Buzelis and considerations to trade up to get him.
Edit: Also what's this then?

I think that was just his personal workout. I don't believe that was a Bulls one.
"They came to watch me in Los Angeles work out privately," Buzelis said. "But no, I didn't expect actually to be here. Now that I'm here, I'm very excited."

Ah, there it is.
Regardless, I'm sure AK did his research on his countrymen. Sidenote, I didn't realize how much basketball is in this kids blood. Not only we're both of his parents players, but his grandparents played professionally in Lithuania too. Ridiculous pedigree.

Feels like if this continues the NBA's second round is going to become an afterthought that no one watches. It was already an afterthought, to an extent, but it was also an "after party." That had value.

I wanted the Bulls to draft Dalton Knecht, but it wasnt meant to be.
I'm mixed on Buzelis, but now that he's here I wish him well.
It's interesting that Filipowski didn't get picked in the first round.
I'm also surprised that the Spurs traded the 8th pick for future picks. I wonder what they'll do in free agency?
