Probably need to have some serious discussions regarding Buzelis. He is not starting caliber and might not even be fit for a rotation either. Very bad all-around player.

Dude can't dribble to save his life.

Caleb needs to stop shooting 3's

[NorthsideAvenger]

At least the Bulls did not lose by 30+ again.

he doesn't need to take quite so many, but i'm cool with him chucking it for a while to see how much he can develop it

No. He should continue doing it until he is excellent at it. He's been a fun watch so far this season.

Nowhere to go but up, suppose. He's barely cracking 20% from 3's

Hate losing a game when you were up 19 at home to the defending champions

[We Got The Whole 9]

Checked the stats at half and Buzelis was having a solid game. Did almost nothing in the 2nd half though. They should have won this game.

Boozer, Acuff, and Peterson are 1, 2, and 4 in worst FG% across the league

 

Boozer is really in his own realm.

Yeah the top of the rookie class has been pretty fairly underwhelming so far considering the hype

1) Dybansta has only played in 1 game but looked pretty good in that one game going 19/2/2

2) Peterson is shooting a nightmarish 34.9% while putting up a 12.8/4.4/2.6 line

3) Boozer, the safe pick, has shot the ball awfully at 27.9% with a 14.8/10.5/4.8 line

4) Caleb has been the best of the bunch shooting 41.3% with a 20.8/7.0/2.2 line

5) Wagler is shooting 3s well but struggling inside the arc 31.6% with a 15/4.3/3.5 line

6) Mikel Brown is struggling as bad as Boozer 28.6% with a 10.3/3.3/4.3 line

7) Acuff is really struggling from 3 but has an overall 34.4 FG% with a 21.5/2.8/4.8 line

8- Flemings has shot well , 50%, but on very limited attempts 7.2/3.4/4.4

9) Morez is only averaging like 15 minutes a game but a solid 7.2/3.6/1.4 in that limited time

10) Burries is similar in playtime and production to Morez 7.8/3.8/1.4

 

The one really lighting it up so far is Yaxel Lendeborg shooting 47.5% with a 22.6/9.2/4.0 line so far. The biggest bust in the top 15, so far, belongs to Dailyn Swain who has seen the court for just 12 minutes.

Swain looks like such a wasted opportunity. Are any guys drafted after him playing meaningful minutes?

Honestly no, but you have to remember that most of the teams drafting 16+ are teams that are playoff favorites so they can't throw as many minutes at a rookie getting acclimated to the NBA, at least not this early. The Bulls don't have those restrictions which makes the fact that Swain still barely sees the floor even worse.

*yawns* Bulls getting blown out again.

I'm genuinely worried they're going to finish bottom 2

Why?

Partially because typo, I meant bottom 3, but also because the new lottery system punishes the 3 worst teams in the league.

[17 Seconds]

In pretty confident they won't be bottom 3. Their record is going to be pretty ugly after this tough stretch though

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I think Nets and Kings are guaranteed bottom 2. Lots of contention for 3 though.

caleb looks good when he shoots threes. if he can develop that, he's going to be a superstar. 9/19 the last 2 games

Unfortunately the rest of the team can't shoot 3s for horsefeathers which was predicted by just about every single person.

Edit. I Should exclude Powell from this because he can actually shot 3s on some volume.

giddey getting his horsefeathers together would help a bit with that

[Tryptamine]

What happened to Giddey? He has hard hard dropped off so far this year.

Supposedly playing through a wrist injury 

[Tryptamine]

Caleb 3/6 from outside, the rest of the team 5/22. This team is Caleb and a bunch of nothing.

[Tryptamine]

Down 43-21 after the 1st quarter. This is just not acceptable.
