SEPTEMBER 28: The Bulls have officially signed Koenig, according to a press release issued by the club.
SEPTEMBER 27: Having been waived by the Bucks less than a week ago, rookie guard Bronson Koenig is poised to join a new NBA team. According to Jonathan Givony of ESPN, Koenig will sign a training camp contract with the Bulls, who have an open spot on their 20-man roster after buying out Dwyane Wade.
Koenig, 22, went undrafted this spring after finishing his college career at Wisconsin. As a senior in 2016/17, Koenig averaged 14.5 PPG, 2.1 RPG, and 2.0 APG, shooting 39.5% on three-point attempts. He made 2.9 threes per game.
Koenig caught on with Milwaukee this summer, becoming the first player to sign a two-way contract with the club. However, after signing Koenig and Jalen Moore to fill the two-way slots on their roster, the Bucks waived both players this month, opting to fill their roster with 20 players on NBA contracts and figure out those two-way spots later.
The Bulls will now have a full roster, including 13 players on fully guaranteed contracts. Koenig will join Jarell Eddie, Jaylen Johnson, David Nwaba, and Diamond Stone as camp invitees without guaranteed salaries. Ryan Arcidiacono and Antonio Blakeney are currently occupying the club’s two-way slots.
Hey. He has a better 3 PT shooting % than wade.
He needs 10 feet of space to gather, lift and shoot.
But hey.
