44 points defeat! Bulls No. 12 performance

On July 12, the Chicago Bulls lost to the Toronto Raptors with a huge score difference of 72-116 in the first game of the Summer United. The most desperate Bulls fans in this game was the poor performance of Noah Essanger, No. 12 pick. This 2.08-meter forward player has poor shooting, insufficient confrontation, and poor finishing ability at the basket. He has almost zero ball holding ability, and keeps making mistakes while on the court.

In the whole game, Esanger played for 24 minutes, made 2 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 0 of 2 free throws. He only scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 0 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, but made 7 mistakes, with a shooting percentage of 28.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and the plus-negative value was as low as -32. He only performed slightly better in the first quarter, scored 5 points in 2 of 3 shots, and failed to score 0 of 4 shots in the following three quarters. The difference in finishing ability at the basket can be seen, and the ability to open up space mentioned in the scout report was not shown.

It is worth mentioning that Esanger only performed well in two moments in the game. Once, Castleton, who was 2.11 meters tall, was his only block in this game; the other was a fast break dunk in the first quarter. Bulls reporter Bolliver said that if fans think Paway is not doing well with the Bulls, Esanger will perform worse. After watching Esange for 14 minutes, the US media concluded that the Bulls chose another "Parvey Second Generation".

In addition, Japanese player Yuki Kawamura also made a debut in this game. He represented the Bulls in the summer and was competing for a two-way contract position. However, he played for 20 minutes in this game, 1 of 6 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and only scored 3 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, but made 4 mistakes, with a shooting percentage of 16.6%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 20%, playing poorly like Esange
