The Chicago Bulls were able to see a glimpse into what Year 2 may look like for Matas Buzelis during the Summer League, as the 2024 All-Rookie selection scored 28 points and had five rebounds in his second and last game during his time in Las Vegas. On top of Buzelis, fans also saw action from first-round pick Noa Essengue, but the majority of fans were tuning in to see an international star.

After bursting onto the scene with the Memphis Grizzlies last season, Yuki Kawamura was not brought back to the team this offseason and joined the Bulls for the Summer League. Despite coming off the bench in all his appearances, the spotlight was on him as he looked to earn his next NBA contract. On Saturday, he did just so.
