Bulls ready for Summer League as Noa Essengue aims to impress

Summary

The Chicago Bulls will begin Summer League play on July 10 against the Memphis Grizzlies, showcasing new rookies Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain. However, Noa Essengue, the 12th pick in the 2025 draft, seeks to make an impact after a short rookie season due to a shoulder injury. Having undergone surgery in December, Essengue has been actively working on his game, particularly after a strong showing in the G League where he averaged 23.0 points and 8.5 rebounds. His performance has garnered attention as the team looks to incorporate his skills into their upcoming season under new head coach Tiago Splitter.
