What happened: Matas Buzelis showcased his offensive repertoire with a series of individual shot-creation drills. The sequence highlighted his isolation footwork and ball-handling ability.
Why it matters: Buzelis continues to expand his offensive role within Chicago's rotation during his second professional month. Developing off-the-dribble scoring complements his perimeter shooting and creates additional half-court spacing. His efficiency in isolation situations remains a critical factor for the offense.
By the numbers: Through nine games in 2026-27, Buzelis is averaging 13.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. He has also converted 2 of 5 attempts on non-paint two-pointers.
What to watch: Chicago returns to action tonight against San Antonio. Buzelis will look to carry his offensive rhythm into the matchup against the Spurs.
