## Resource

Noa Essengue, the Bulls’ 12th pick, is rehabbing from a shoulder injury that derailed his rookie season—now admitting he must “learn how to play again” as he rebuilds strength and confidence. Though his physical tools are elite and he’s reportedly grown a few inches, his admission raises questions about his NBA readiness. With new coach Tiago Splitter praising his versatility, Essengue’s summer league debut could be the first real test of his comeback—and whether he’s truly ready to contribute at the next level.
