Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (14) in the second half against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Chicago Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis wasn’t star-struck on Saturday night when he made a nasty move on Luka Doncic before dunking on the Los Angeles Lakers star in the first quarter of their matchup at crypto.com arena.

As former Bulls center Will Perdue told CCS, Buzelis’ confidence is one of the forward’s best features.

A Chicago Bulls rookie has plenty of confidence

“Just the aggression which he plays with. He attacks the rim, he’s not intimidated, and that’s that says a lot,” Perdue said. “I mean, as young as he is, to step into the league, and some of these guys are (that Buzelis is playing against), quite honestly, his idols, but he doesn’t back down.

“But yet, I like how he walks that line of confidence, but he doesn’t cross over into arrogance. You see, a lot of players do that because they don’t understand the difference of the two, and I think he’s got a true grasp of that.”

With about seven minutes remaining in the first quarter and the Bulls trailing 14-10, Buzelis went with a behind-the-back dribble to get past Doncic before dunking on the five-time All-Star and Lakers’ newcomer.

Per video of the play by CHSN:

The Bulls selected Buzelis with the No. 11 pick in the 2024 draft. He’s showing signs of a future star in Chicago.
