Here’s the latest Chicago Bulls news for Nov. 7 following a road loss to the Dallas Mavericks, including breakout performances from Matas Buzelis and, to a lesser extent, Dalen Terry in what was the perfect tanking performance.<\/p>\n

Last week, Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis was sent to the G League because he couldn’t crack head coach Billy Donovan’s rotation.<\/p>\n

He had scored five total points in 5.4 minutes per game across his first seven pro games – one of which was a DNP-coach’s decision.<\/p>\n

He was called back to the Bulls before he played a G League contest … to play four minutes and miss his only shot in a loss to the dreadful Utah Jazz. Things weren’t off to a swimming start for the 11th pick in the 2024 draft.<\/p>\n

In last night’s loss to the Mavericks, though, Donovan at least loosened the training wheels and made Buzelis one of the first players off his bench.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old rewarded that small burst of fate by scoring 13 points – eight more than his career total – and shooting 3-of-4 from three (he had yet to make a shot from deep in the NBA.)<\/p>\n

Buzelis added nine rebounds, three of which came on the offensive end, to go along with a pair of steals and a block in nearly 23 minutes of action.<\/p>\n

It was promising to see Buzelis get legitimate run for the first time in his career. It was even nicer to see him reward Donovan’s small level of trust with a breakout game.<\/p>\n

Dalen Terry’s overlooked performance<\/h2>\n

Physically, Dalen Terry has just about everything you’d want in an NBA guard. He’s 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan, can handle the ball and is versatile enough to play in the backcourt or on the wing, which is why Chicago made him the 18th pick in the 2022 draft.<\/p>\n

Heading into last night, Terry had played 104 career games. He averaged 2.7 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists 9.2 minutes per contest across his first two seasons.<\/p>\n

In the loss to Dallas, the 22-year-old played 23 minutes, 42 seconds. He finished with 10 points, four rebounds, an assist and a pair of steals on 3-of-7 shooting and 1-of-3 from three. He attempted four free throws, tied for the second-most in a game during his career.<\/p>\n

He was one of only five Chicago players to finish with a positive plus-minus.<\/p>\n

Compare those stats to those of Josh Giddey’s, the Bulls’ starting point guard, who had 10 points, three rebounds, six assists, one steal and five turnovers in 27:51.<\/p>\n

Terry didn’t score 20 points. He didn’t have a double-double. He didn’t rain threes. But he played even more than Buzelis and had a similar game to that of Giddey, who’s been Chicago’s lead guard this season (and is also a free agent who wants somewhere around $30 million per year in a new deal).<\/p>\n

After seven games of avoiding doing things that make sense for a rebuilding team – like handing out minutes to first-round picks – Donovan finally pulled off the perfect tank. At least for one night.<\/p>\n

Terry and Buzelis played significant minutes and showed they deserve a few more. Julian Phillips played more than 15 minutes. Even Chris Duarte got off the bench for 7:36.<\/p>\n

In all, Donovan played 10 players more than 20 minutes and none more than 30. He went to a deep rotation and showed off prospects the organization needs to see to make decisions moving forward. And the Bulls lost.<\/p>\n

That’s exactly the type of game Chicago needs to be playing this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
