Matas Buzelis Card Profile

Chicago Bulls

Buzelis holds the top of the audited 20-25 pocket because the archetype is still the easiest one to imagine getting loud. A big-market forward with size, shot creation, and enough production to make the cards feel live deserves the edge over the guards and bigs below him. The buy still has to stay disciplined because the market can fall in love with the tools before the star proof catches up.
