[@dikrantorian1311]

B+? When you get a guy at #11 who was projected to go at 5 or 6, why isn't that a solid A?

[@jeremybrantley8164]

I SAID THE SAME SHIT!!! 💯🤦🏿‍♂️

[@blau8612]

Because we are the Bulls!

[@Nighthawk-8050]

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

[@kofibabone725]

you will see why soon😂😂😂😂

[@davidmolina9166]

NOW HOPEFULLY DO IT FOR YOUR HOMETOWN AND BRING THE BULLS BACK TO CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kofibabone725]

😂😂😂😂

[@ytyndale3643]

A+ is the correct grade. Disgusting to give B+ but no comment of why no A+. Absolutely disrespectful and Matas says thanks for the hate because its his fuel.

[@gamesnba1550]

thats fking a+. disrespectful.

[@jeremybrantley8164]

FACTS

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

Consensus Top 4-5 player goes No 11. Grade is a B+??? How does that make Any sense

[@jedward5155]

It's almost as if grading draft picks is idiotic.

[@DiMotherShip]

G this was a steal. They literally filled a major need. We haven't had a PF like this since Lauri really

[@kennybegeske8824]

For Chicago From Chicago

[@Psych9589]

He will have a subpar first 2 seasons then we will trade him off and he will impress his game just like Markkanen.

[@robglobal1]

Yup!

[@KevoUptownChicago]

Facts.. these upside draft picks are killing teams.

[@illini374]

A grade

[@robglobal1]

This is an A or A+ what the hell are ya'll on?!

[@taewilson94]

Andre Kirilenko is completely wrong lbs, we basically got Lauri Markannen back again but this kid got a helluva an upside jusy like Markannen, he can defend and his shot is not as bad as they are saying, it was just the role he played, but that shot can easily become better because he has good form in it, we gotta steal boys

[@gentlemans.guidance365]

He cant shoot like Lauri and he's actually a good defender and at attacking that basketball. Plays nothing like Lauri 😂

[@TheSportsandFilmFellowship]

Giddey, Matas and Coby white wow !! That’s legit. They might get Flagg next year or Ace Bailey

[@bryan11981]

Ayo as well

[@Icebgriz]

My boy Avery

[@anthonym6119]

They actually made a good draft pick..it’s an A for me.

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Matas Buzelis is solid I feel. Him being from Chicago and going to Chciago might make him even more hungrier.

[@alreadycertifiedt.v.]

Great pick

[@louier4172]

Yes i remember AK47. Loved his game

[@lances2424]

This is crazy this is a A+ pick

[@qmakesithappen]

Coby, Zach, Vuc, Ayo, Pat, Lonzo, Dalen, Jevon, Woo, Matas, Torrey Craig, Josh Giddey… idk about this roster man. I’m rocking with my Bulls regardless.

[@nbapbaupdate8338]

Hometown amazing story & picks

[@K_N_Jsquad]

I was mad my kings didnt get him but im happy with our pic but we needed wing defenders

[@SoufBySoufeast]

Man said he reminds him of AK47😂🤦🏿‍♂️AFTER they said he isnt a good defender

[@brodiestephens419]

That's because they were wrong. Avery was the one who's right here. He DOES remind me of AK47. His weak-side shot blocking is already awesome at 19 years old. He has great timing, set the Ignite record for blocks, and disrupts passing lanes like crazy too. The other thing I like about Buzelis with the NEW Bulls.... is he's a very good cutter. The reason I like that even more than usual..... is Josh Giddey is literally one of the best five players in THE WORLD at passing cutters open. There's a reason Josh Giddey got the nickname SLOB Wizard. Giddey sees cutting lanes before they even open up, and is absolutely ELITE at passing guys open, especially when they're cutting to the rim. Those two are going to play really well together. I'm guaranteeing it right now.

[@Pchyymlis]

Cant wait to buy the jersey

[@kennybegeske8824]

He's Going To Be Number 00 Just Like NBA Legend Robert Parish

[@trza49er]

That kid needs to be shooting 500 threes a day from now until October. If he can shoot at a respectable clip, then he’s a really nice asset. But under 30% last year scares me, doesn’t seem like he’s on the cusp of figuring it out.

[@gentlemans.guidance365]

hedo turkoglu if he can improve his 3 point percentage

[@THEEHumblePeasant]

Nice to see Pastor Avery in the building this morning

[@blah426]

Trivia Time: Name an NBA prospect that didn't improve as a shooter once coming to the league?

[@KoryHorton-sc7wq]

I like his cealling paja or hedo floor toni

[@kennybegeske8824]

Chicago Trade Up

[@JimmieEmerson]

❤❤❤

[@tecoroy1205]

He’s already better than Patrick Williams

[@KevoUptownChicago]

Just going through the comments, most people have zero idea who this dude is and really dont understand he's a project at best and he wont be ready to contribute for at least 2 years

[@ChicagoDefense]

Worst pick in years. Shannon jr and Devin carter were right there.

[@dikrantorian1311]

Matas Buzelis is better than both of those players combined.

[@samemain9999]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 ,......

[@TheSportsandFilmFellowship]

Giddey, Matas and Coby white wow !! That’s legit. They might get Flagg next year or Ace Bailey

[@brodiestephens419]

You already said that bro.
