Buzelis has been balling out lately

Giddey with another triple double

Reminder that Giddey is averaging 18/8/9

Yet another Josh Giddey triple-double. And, for all of you Yuki fans out there, this was an incredibly fun game from him. Unfortunately, this Grizzlies roster didn’t really put up much of a fight outside of Coward. Buzelis had an explosive 19-point quarter, on top of it.

Bulls are the bad team that good teams cant take lightly.

They play hard and have not terrible talent.

How long till Matas is firmly the best player from last year’s draft. Right now its definitely him or castle

AlmostHereButNot | Bulls

Tough to say. Buzelis took a huge leap this season. Especially in the past few games, he’s been incredible.

Bulls fan here - it’s Castle atm. Two way menace on a competitive team, come on now.

Presence_Present | Bucks

He’s still got big issues with his ball handling and turnovers, i reckon it’s closer now with Buzelis’ recent surge

AlmostHereButNot | Bulls

I do agree, for the record. I think that, at this moment, Matas is a solid number 2. Castle is on a much better team and that team is better with him on the court.

Maybe in the next year or two. He has improved a lot on defense, that’s what he struggled with last year. What I want to see from him next season is for him to develop his midrange game and get to the ft line more.

Giddey and Buzelis is balling

I cannot believe that Bulls got actually got the best talent out of a draft year

DisMFer | Bulls

11 | 12 hours ago

One of the main reasons I hate tanking is that when the team I root for wins I have to hear about how it’s actually a bad thing and how having your star second year player dominate the game is actually pointless because “It’s March bro, everyone knows March basketball is worthless.”

Rob Dillingham is starting to play better

Getting his confidence back. Also he improves his decision making and shot selection.

The longest active streak of scoring 110+ in a game comes to an end

What do bulls fans think of Josh giddey is he someone who you can build the team around?

GeneralTheSurvivor | Bulls

17 | 14 hours ago

I think that he’s only 23 years old and is averaging 18/9/8, so all we can do is develop him further.

AlmostHereButNot | Bulls

9 | 13 hours ago

I always forget that he’s only 23. For whatever reason, I always think he looks 5 years older than he actually is.

GeneralTheSurvivor | Bulls

4 | 13 hours ago

lol, yeah definitely keep that in mind when judging him, he has a lot of room to grow.

Kingsteps | 76ers

12 | 14 hours ago

He is a walking mismatch on O. If he has a decent roll man and good shooters to kick out to he can easily average over 10 assists per game. He is an underrated finisher and his 3pt game has improved a lot and opens everything else up.

He is okay at defending forwards, he is an elite rebounder, very high IQ, gifted passer with top tier vision. If he continues to improve his outside shooting he is going to be a problem for a long time.

AlmostHereButNot | Bulls

10 | 14 hours ago

He’s an incredible player, no doubt. He’s had non-stop triple-doubles in the last few games. I don’t think his scoring is good enough to build around. His playmaking and rebounding are both great, but I don’t see him as THE franchise player.

ManufacturerAny6277

He seems best as a secondary ball handler if bulls could a proper shooting guard with him there’s a lot of potential

AlmostHereButNot | Bulls

9 | 14 hours ago

If you threw him on the Timberwolves or the Rockets, I think he’d be an absolute menace. Unfortunately, Isaac Okoro isn’t a strong enough guard to feed, so Giddey is limited on the Bulls.

Constant_Charge_4528 | Bulls

Him on the Wolves would turn them into legit contenders

Sauce4243 | Thunder

I wanted to see him on the Spurs next to Wemby would have been fun to watch

BlammoSweetums

Build around as in treat him as the star and specifically try to get players to shore up his weaknesses? I don’t think so. But he’s a starter level player, and if he tightens up a few things, he’ll be a good-to-great table setter, which is a skillset that is in shorter supply than people think.

DisMFer | Bulls

3 | 12 hours ago

Yes. I don’t think he’ll ever reach that MVP tier but he can easily be at the same level of a guy like Brunson or Donavan Mitchel, where they’re huge at making their team so much better that it’s hard to say they’re not a star player.

Between him and Matas I’m not worried about the future the way a lot of Bulls fans are. The team has a lot of holes, but it’s not like we’re one of those teams with a bunch of late peaking players who are too old to improve but too young to be tanking.

Sauce4243 | Thunder

I’m a Giddey fan, it depends on what you mean by build around. If you want him to be your number 1 option face of franchise I don’t think he has that in him think he is more likely to average 12-15 assists in a season than score 25+. If how ever you can find a number 1 option an either a non ball dominant #²⁄₃ play finisher option Giddey would be the perfect fit because while he wants the ball in his hand he isn’t looking for usage/scoring he wants to set the table for the team.

His outside shooting has improved dramatically from when he got played off the court vs Dallas and his defence has improved, still not great and can still have lapses where he loses focus but it’s still better than it used to be. If he keeps improving he could absolutely be a key piece of a contender think better suited to a teams 2nd or 3rd best player
