Summary
The Bulls just pulled off a savvy move, signing Norman Powell to a two-year deal — a clear signal that Matas Buzelis won’t be their primary scorer. Powell, a proven All-Star scorer averaging over 21 points, brings the efficiency and offensive firepower the Bulls desperately need. With cap space and no playoff expectations this season, they’re prioritizing immediate scoring impact over Buzelis’ development. Buzelis, who led the team in scoring after the deadline but struggled with efficiency and consistency, is now likely to be a third option. The move also factors in the lottery changes and the recent draft of Caleb Wilson, who may be ahead of Buzelis in the pecking order. Powell’s role? To get buckets, take shots, and carry the offense — while Buzelis gets time to grow, but not as the team’s go-to scorer.
