A player who bursts into tears as soon as they announce his pick and says with passion that this is where he wanted to be, is the type of player i want. A player with passion and dedication for the city is what we need after caruso left

I was expecting the Bulls to draft another guard. That's a win straight away!

I agree with you 100% I am a Matas supporter now. Hearing about his attitude (trash talker) his athleticism 2 blocks a game and his response to being drafted by the Bulls

Crazy thing is I went to middle school with him and I remember when I was taller than him and better at basketball. Good ol days 😂

It’s absurd that the 6’10” versatile guy falls in the draft because of his shooting but the 2 guards who also can’t hit a 3 go 4 and 5

Love the passion this kid brings. I know that the offseason has only just begun and there still are plenty of moves to be done but this is the most excited i have been about the bulls in at least a couple of years. lets hope for a new direction and a fresh start

I actually thought we’d have to give up an asset to move up and get Matas I’m very happy with the pick This is the guy I wanted the Bulls to draft Let’s go Bulls nation! Like if you love this pick!

He played in the G league and there the 3 point line is the same as in the NBA. So I think last year was the year of adjustment and that's why his 3 point percentage was low. Hoping that next year he will already be adjusted and will shot better.

No dude just the way he shows he cares for the team and wants to be great is enough for me just alone I believe in em I'm happy for em and I think we'll love someone who finally is confident and talks some smack cuz I love players like that GO BULLS

And he is a FORWARD

Dude, you're gonna see very quickly that Josh Giddey plays with passion, energy, and plays every game like it's his last, too! I know Bulls fans are pissed about losing Caruso, and that's completely understandable.... but Giddey and Matas are going to fit together on the court seamlessly. Matas is already a really good cutter at age 19.... and Giddey is already (at age 21) one of the five best players IN THE WORLD at passing cutters open. He got the nickname SLOB Wizard for a reason. He's quite literally the best player in the league ALREADY at sideline out of bounds passes. I've watched every single Thunder game Giddey has played (220 games), and every game before OKC here in Australia too. I'm supremely confident Giddey and Buzelis are going to destroy defenses on cuts for many many years to come. Let's fucking GO!!! 🐂🏀💪

I’m so happy about this pick

He played in the gleague which has the same three point line as the nba

YEAH this it it some excitement for the bulls today!

Matas will bring that Derrick Rose attitude to court always husteling playing hard. Bulls fans will love.

I think's this channel got a new subscriber from Lithuania ;)

The way they kept camera cutting and zooming in on his brother was petty but hilarious

It’s crazy because as someone who’s been following ignite the whole season I for sure thought he would at least be top 5. Yes they had some development issues especially offensively and we’ve seen that with scoot but you have to remember these are guys coming straight out of highschool playing nba minutes against nba vets on a nba floor. Along with him having a very good work ethic he doesn’t have any issues that can’t be fixed from coaching such as his turnovers and how he uses his size.

Growing up watching the Bulls as they have been for the last 15 years ----- It is amazing that he wants to be on the Bulls team. Not a great recent legacy.

He's the return of the Buz Cruise! But in all honesty, just happy for the kid and there's great value in home town athletes wearing the laundry they grew up cheering for. The Bears got some of those and it's worked out well so far. I think the uc could use some of that same energy with Matas and Ayo.

Man its crazy i played AAU against this guy in highschool in Chicago

Everyone knew if he was at 11 we were taking him. He's the best option here and I'm happy he's a Bull. I believe him that he will work hars

Andrei Kirilenko is another solid comparison for him, he himself said he modeled his game around AK47, showing the obsession to improve on defense. Bet on the Lithuanian genes for the shooting aswell, he's already committed to play for the national team and will most likely work every summer there which will develop his game rapidly.

I like this pick! Good pick from bulls since maybe Lauri

So hyped to see him go at it, I’m hoping he gets actual playing time though lol. Great video as always

I like how he said that Zaccharie Risacher don't wanna see him. I love the confidence and most important he wants to be here. Let's go Buzelis!!!!

Im truly rooting for this guy, he gonna show up and show out! Bulls Fans are gonna Love him Greatly!💪🙌💯

Matas will be our Andrei Kirilenko. Great pick! This guy can play!

I love Zach here with this young team in Motas and Josh Giddey. Build Zach's value up and grow these young gigs AK. Love to see Lonzo back for a year and be a mentor to the Bulls young players. I'm liking these moves. Josh Giddey can be the NBA #1 point guard 🤗

GREAT ASSET❗️❗️

Great young talent, you can just see it....his size/length and bounce/motor is really impressive. And just so smooth and coordinated. Legit NBA lottery talent - Bulls were very lucky he dropped to them at #11.

I am so happy with this pick. He really fits the modern game especially if he improves his shooting 🙏🏻 sky is the limit

Yo so happy right now. Finally a good choice. Go bulls. Buying a jersey Asap

He has star potential. I hope he becomes the best version of himself with us

I love this kid I'm so happy for him. It is by far the best thing that happened to us lately.

A great pick bull nation

A young energetic team that you will have to watch out. Josh Giddy, Ayo, Cody, Demar and now Matas and if Lonzo stays healthy, My goodness this will a future force to be reckon with. Go Bulls.

Matas was a breath of fresh air. But Edy was a walking bucket, outstanding rebounding, and defensive threat at the rim. My wish was Edy and Giddey and the Tank 4 Flagg. But I'm very happy with Matas. Eveyone should be. MakeBulls🏀GreatAgain in 2024

Can't wait to see Matas in Summer League. I'm already looking forward to it.

If you watched G League Ignite games, you know he is a steal. granted he did not completely meet expectations...but he really does have a high ceileing!

I love the passion and raw emotion from a player that grew up loving this team.. but he’s going to take a few years to be an actual difference maker.. i don’t think he will play too much next season, but with this draft class the long run is a solid play … we shall see i hope im wrong about him not playing much next year.. we shall see!

Another Chicago native love it let’s go BullsNation

Stephan Noh just did a great breakdown of Matas! Worth a watch. I’m happy #BullsNation #SeeRed

I'm not sure where we find minutes for him at with our coach so in love with small ball lol! But I really like this pick and it's rare that I say that beside the Ayo pickup. But I'm glad he's from Chicago so I know he'll have that grit because I'm not gonna lie as soon as I seen his face I was like OH NO our front office did it again!

I love this new young core! Let’s go bulls

His game reminds me of a young AK47 and if he turns out to be anything close to that guy we're good!

Wow I think we got one this time 🔥🔥🔥

Noah like with spirit and emotions 🔥

Team Unity is needed ! So EVERY Bulls player must wear a Coby Fro ! Gonna be an exciting year with the young guys , to bad Bulls can’t keep Bulldog Drummond . That man plays hard

He’s from Chicago (Hinsdale about 45 minutes from Chicago) that’s a blessing

I like the pick. In Matas' interview with The Ringer, he says he measured at a smidge under 6'9" w/o shoes and is currently 205 lbs. The Bulls needed to add size to their lineup and they've got one with size in Matas.

Shooting will just come if you have a great...great...great PASSION goodluck MB.🔥🐂

Rookie of the year contender I promise.

I was really shocked this kid didn't get picked earlier. I've been hoping they'd get him for a while now and I didn't expect it.

The bulls are back + Giddey, Cody ❤ Aussie’s are following 🇦🇺

He’s definitely the steal of the draft I’ve been watching him and ignite play and mans has it going good for him

I have my concerns about Buzelis but I do think he was BPA and shows enormous upside. Genuinely reminds me of Franz Wagner so maybe God is making up for us getting fleeced in the Vucevic trade

I like Kyle filipowski surprisingly didn’t get picked yesterday bulls gotta get on the phone for him

Goated pick my ninja!!!!!! This kid could be da next Shaq or better!!!!!

I am not comparing him to Kevin Durant, but KD did shoot 28% from 3 in his rookie year. No one was concerned by his shooting. Some players just need time to adjust to the further distance. I believe MB will be fine from deep. When? I don't know, but I like the form on his shot, and definitely think he can at least become a quality catch and shoot guy. It might need to be tweaked slightly to make the transition, but I am confident that he will. Unlike a Giddey, where the form doesn't look smooth or even comfortable, it's unlikely he ever becomes league average. I love the pick! I wanted Cody Williams, but I was happy going into the 10th pick that both of them were still on the board. Also to add, the video maker said that the 3 point line will be longer. That isn't accurate since he played in the g league. Which means, he jumped straight from the high school distance to the pro distance. It doesn't mean that he'll shoot better, but it does slightly prove why he struggled.

Can't wait for him to get on the court and see all he can do for this Bulls team, and he is a trash talker going to be fun 😊😊

HE IS A SUPER PLAYER

Let’s trade Zach and let Demar walk. Love the Buzelis pick

He went from a HS 3pt line to an NBA 3 point line playing in the GLeague. So he already has a year under his belt shooting from that distance which is a plus, I think it’s likely he will adapt quickly.

in 5 years redrafting this class he’s gonna be #1

Last time we had tall wing like this we let him go so hopefully bulls develop him well

WELCOME BULL'ZELIS !!!

BRING ON THE REBUILD!

finally, as a lithuanian i have 3 teams to watch night time comes

Insane upside for where he fell

Athletic Dirk!!

Great pick, believe that he can became face of the Bulls in the future. Jack pot win 🏆

He’s a stud trust me !! Coby and Giddey with him that’s a solid core. Add Flagg and Bailey next draft and they have something

The boy struggled in the G league so it’s going to take a while for him to show out in the NBA so hopefully bulls fans are patient

A. Love the pick.

Steal of the last 5 years ❤️🔥🔥🗣️

I like this pick

What is this addiction to the 3-pt shot? People are saying players have a weakness because they can't "shoot a 3 from the parking lot!" What about their rebounding, defense, ability to pass, etc.? The reliance on the 3-pt shot is just absolutely insane. Many people don't realize that MJ was the last player in NBA history to score more than 3,000 points in a single season, (3041). Jordan only hit on (12) 3-pointers that year. This young man will do well, if he's allowed to play what suits him best within a structured offense. Dare I say Tony Kukoc 2.0? Chicago Bull's fan since 1966-67. Go Bulls!!!

I think the chicago bulls got the best player in this draft if we can get top 3 next year nba draft, which a ton of money to sign up best free agents we in play off for show

BU-ZELLY!!! I like this kid FASHO! See red baby. If we do keep Zach and Zoe comes back healthy. We looking at a nice bench and a solid lineup

finally.... a proper fucking power forward

Even if we are rebuilding at least we have a direction. We won't drop off that far as this team is still loaded with talent. To be honest we will probably be even more competitive than the last two years. We will be more athletic and have far more depth. A lot of that is what we get in return for DeMar and Zach but as the roster sits today it's better.

He has top guy in the league potential idk how nobody sees it

I like the pick & I wish the young man all the best. Even if it takes some time for him to get acclimated, I don`t think The Bulls are going to be very good next season anyway, as it looks like were in for a long rebuild.

I'm all for the youth movement direction. BD might not be going anywhere and people have been saying he's a good in developing young guys. Might as well let him do it of he's gonna be the coach for the future. I'm optimistic this rebuild is not gonna be as bad as that time they had Cam Payne-Justin Holiday-Valentine-Zipser-Felicio starting lineup. LOL 😂

Rookie of the year coming home 😤

Okay, forget a playoff bid for next season. Now it's up to our newly hired coaching staff to develop all these young guys.

Cody Ayo Patrick matas now we need a center

Surprised the bulls made a move like this

There are too many guards on the bulls to say we need more when the young guards we do have should be playing more time

Who do you think the bulls should get in the FA. With Claxton just got signed, I hope they get Hartenstein instead. And Hield or Gary trent for their shooter.

Wasnt Matas projected to go #1 actually on most boards before injury lol?

I'm ngl if we start a rebuild I feel good about this go around I just don't know what the starting 5 would look like But also, is it me, or did we get rid of Lauri Markkanen to later draft a Lauri Markkanen with playmaking??

Might be building around Zach and I think sign and trade demar and vuc get a better rim protector and yes Zach staying before we had demar Zach was lighting it up

I will say he’ll be a hell of a defender and cutter I think he’s Franz Wagner with defense

The Knicks got 5 second round picks from the thunder last night for the 26th pick by the way (Dillon jones) 🙃

GLeague has same 3pt line as NBA fyi

He reminds me of toni the 7 from are old bulls

Does this move means that Bulls may not stay with Patrick Williams ?

I think with matas it helps with pat moving to 3 and we have a big line up and get vuc outta here
