Confident Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis has no problem walking the edge

LAS VEGAS – Matas Buzelis is just different.

Three parts cocky, two parts swagger, and a sprinkle of nasty.

That’s why the 11th overall pick from last month’s NBA Draft might actually be the perfect addition at the perfect time for a Bulls organization caught somewhere between youth movement and stuck in the mud with lingering veterans.

And it’s not just because of the skillset he brings to the floor. That was again on display in Tuesday’s 85-77 Summer League loss to the Pistons in which Buzelis finished with 18 points on 7-for-18 shooting, as well as adding four blocked shots.
