Why'd he leave school?

Why is that?

Why is that?

His looks and build are probably part it

Why'd he leave school?

one-track mind on being one and done no matter what happens in college

Their agents and team probably believe because of their age and the fact they were a top HS prospect, it is enough for a team to take a flyer on them.

Lmao
Wtf is Chicago doing
Team had abysmal spacing
Giddey and Matas 2 new additions and neither of them can fukking shoot

Peter Patton deserves a lot of credit for unlocking these guys jumpers that were seemingly broken before arriving in Chicago

Giddey's cooled off but he's shooting slightly higher than he ever has for his career (35%)
Matas shot sub 25% in the G-League and is now shooting 38% his rookie season
Julian Phillips shot 24% at Tennessee and is at 31% in Chicago
Dalen Terry is at 36% this season on limited attempts
Vuc who had an abysmal year from 3 last season (sub 30%) is now shooting a SCORCHING 47% from 3

Bulls are 3rd in 3PAs and 5th in 3P%
Bulls are 3rd in EFG% and TS% and 1st in PACE

Billy Donovan tailors his teams around the personnel, with DeMar's usage being so high in years past, it looks like a completely different offence now with all these guys flying up and down the court.

Matas to me can't go lower than 7 now even though I'm not super high on him.

Matas falling to 11 is already looking... CRAZY

The shooting concerns were legitimate, however, everything else is there. More importantly, the moxie and the confidence that he plays with is the makeup of a star. Billy has been funny with his minutes, but I think he's broke into the rotation now and he's here to stay.

The biggest swing skill was the shooting. Last year, I'm sure he was shooting difficult shots off the dribble as one of the key pieces on that team. But on Chicago, he's only really taking catch and shoot 3s and he's been hitting them at a respectable clip. Still early and only scratching the surface, but when he's on the floor, he pops.

If he wasn't brought along at a snails pace, he'd be at the top of everyone's ROTY ladder

Yet you got idiots saying coaching doesn’t matter
