Matas Buzelis Shows Flashes of Breakout Potential for Bulls Despite Inconsistent Start

Chicago Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis, initially a top breakout candidate, has shown his fantasy upside since being moved into the starting lineup. After a strong season opener with 21 points, six rebounds, and three blocks against the Pistons, his averages have settled to 13.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks. While his contributions outside of points and three-pointers have been modest, Buzelis is shooting an encouraging 46.9% from the field and 42.4% from deep, logging 29 minutes per game. A rough game where he fouled out in six minutes against the Magic impacted his overall numbers, but big things are still anticipated for the young forward.
