Bulls Eye: Chicago Bulls young guns shine in Summer League

The Chicago Bulls have plenty of veterans who have been through a lot in the NBA. With the franchise's decision-makers opting to stay on the path of "continuity," the team has brought back the same core from last season. However, the roster also includes a lot of exciting young players who put their skills on display in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Here are the top five stories from last week about the Bulls:

1) Julian Phillips lives up to his words with bounce-back game vs. the Sacramento Kings in the Summer League

After a rocky first game in the Summer League, the Bulls' pick in this year's NBA Draft, Julian Phillips, showed why the team is so high on him with a bounce-back performance against the Kings. He scored 16 points, grabbed four rebounds, and blocked three shots in a win against the Sacramento Kings.

2) Chicago Bulls VP speaks about new additions: "We added a couple guys who can defend and play with a high energy and motor"

The Bulls executive vice president Arturas Karnisovas recently spoke glowingly of the team's veteran additions—Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig—saying the two bring a lot of energy and activity to the squad.

3) Adama Sanogo looking to prove his worth to the Chicago Bulls

The Bulls' two-way player from UConn, Adama Sanogo, is determined to prove himself this season, and his performance in the NBA Summer League showed how much he's been working on his game.

4) Dalen Terry eager to display improved defensive skills

A quiet rookie season where he played in just 38 games has apparently sparked young guard Dalen Terry to work on his game even more. In the Summer League, Terry was putting more emphasis on his defense, hoping to make a bigger impact this season.

5) Javon Freeman-Liberty shines in Chicago Bulls' loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in NBA Summer League

The NBA Summer League is an avenue for players to audition for roster spots. One undrafted player who's making the most out of the opportunity is Javon Freeman-Liberty who averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game in five Summer League games.
