Continues excellent play
Buzelis finished Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Warriors with 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.
Analysis
After scoring in single digits in 23 straight games, Buzelis has reached the double-digit plateau in six straight games. During that stretch, the rookie has averaged 15.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.7 blocks in 27.2 minutes per game while shooting 62.3 percent from the field. Buzelis has drawn back-to-back starts and played at least 29 minutes in three consecutive contests.

Strong performance in start
Buzelis logged 14 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Buzelis received the first start of his career, sliding in for Lonzo Ball who was resting on the second night of a back-to-back. Having upped his production of late, Buzelis made the most of his promotion, delivering another strong two-way performance. With the Bulls positioned towards the bottom of the standings once again, the hope is that Buzelis will now be able to hold onto a significant role for the remainder of the season.

First career start Wednesday
Buzelis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
With Lonzo Ball (knee) taking a seat Wednesday, Buzelis will draw his first career start with the Bulls. The rookie forward has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 2.5 threes in 26.1 minutes over his last four games, and he's set for a boost in playing time against Minnesota.

Perfect performance against Miami
Buzelis contributed 24 points (10-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks across 31 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 133-124 win over the Heat.
Analysis
The 11th overall pick in the 2024 Draft set a new career scoring high while tying his previous best in made threes as part of a perfect shooting night. Rather than hitting the proverbial rookie wall, Buzelis may be getting stronger as the season progresses -- he's played 20-plus minutes in five straight games, the first time he's seen that consistent a workload, and he's turned the opportunity into 13.8 points, 4.2 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.2 blocks a contest while shooting an eye-popping 71.1 percent from the floor and 61.1 percent (11-for-18) from beyond the arc. Especially if Nikola Vucevic gets moved before Thursday's trade deadline, the 6-foot-10 Buzelis is making a strong case to get a look in the starting five for a Bulls team in need of some length up front.
