The Chicago Bulls are in the early stages of a rebuild, and they have so far hitched their wagon to two dynamic young players in first-round picks Caleb Wilson, the No. 4 selection this year, and Matas Buzelis, whom they took 11th overall in 2025.

However, the pairing has created questions about chemistry between the two forwards.

Not only did Buzelis push back on the implication that there could be any friction between the two, but Wilson confirmed as much shortly after.

Bullsâ Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis Push Back Against Friction Question​

During the âMully & Haughâ show on 104.3 The Score, host Ruthie Polinsky questioned the fit between the two leading personalities on the Bullsâ roster, Buzelis and Wilson.

Polisky believes Buzelis in particular will be âvery, very interestingâ to see this season.

âI think he loves being sort of the face of the future for the Bulls. And if he kind of takes a step back, or ifâand I mean a step back away from the spotlightâhow will he handle that? How will he take to being second in command to an exciting player like Caleb Wilson?â Polisnky said during the show on July 16.

âLast year, Matas Buzelis was the most exciting player on the Bulls in terms of thinking about them long-term. So, Iâm excited to see what, maybe stepping out of the spotlight, will Matas, maybe, thrive in a role where not all eyes are on him. That, I think, is really interesting to me.â

Buzelis said, âItâs a TEAM sport loveâ¦â in a post on X on July 17 in response to the comments, adding âwe all gonna shine.â

Wilson quoted Buzelisâ post and said, âOne goal.â

Polinsky went on to say that she âdidnât really rank them,â but put Wilson and Buzelis ahead of Josh Giddey, with veteran newcomer Norman Powell as âthe glue guy.â

There does not seem to be any cause for concern about the two youngsters, though.
