On Saturday night, the Chicago Bulls took on the Memphis Grizzlies in their second Summer League game of the offseason, but they didn’t get the result they wanted. Chicago dropped the game, falling to the Grizzlies by a score of 87-80, but Summer League isn’t necessarily about wins and losses.
While Chicago would obviously love to win every game of Summer League, the event is more about evaluating talent than it is about winning each contest. And for the Bulls, adding new young talent to the roster will be key if they hope to compete for a playoff spot and maintain a solid future.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the three top performers from the Bulls’ loss to the Grizzlies.
Bulls Summer League: 3 top performers from loss to Grizzlies: Javon Freeman-Liberty
Javon Freeman-Liberty was nothing short of amazing against the Grizzlies, leading the Bulls (and the game) in scoring. He poured in 24 points to go along with six rebounds and five assists while shooting 9-of-15 from the floor and 4-of-6 from beyond the arc.
Bulls Summer League: 3 top performers from loss to Grizzlies: Adama Sanogo
After a shaky first Summer League game, Adama Sanogo turned it around against the Grizzlies. He looked solid on defense and was a beast on the glass. The former Husky finished the game with eight points, 12 boards (six of which were offensive), one assist, one steal, and one block. He shot 3-of-5 from the field and only committed one foul.
Bulls Summer League: 3 top performers from loss to Grizzlies: Dalen Terry
Dalen Terry wasn’t very efficient against Memphis, and that could have been enough to bump him off this list, but his energy was enough to land him on it. After a tough first game, Terry stayed aggressive against the Grizzlies and was playing with great intensity. He finished the game with 17 points, two rebounds, three assists, and two steals while shooting 5-of-21 from the floor and 3-of-9 from deep.
