JULY 8: The Bulls have officially signed Lewis to a two-way contract, per NBA.com’s transactions log.
JUNE 24: The Bulls have agreed to a two-way contract with former Marquette forward Justin Lewis, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania (Twitter link).
After going undrafted this year, the 6’7″ free agent rookie wasted little time in linking up with a big-market club coming off its first playoff appearance in five years. During his sophomore season, the 20-year-old was voted the 2022 Big East Most Improved Player, in addition to being named First-Team All-Big East.
In 2021/22, Lewis averaged 16.8 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 1.7 APG, 1.1 SPG and 0.6 BPG across 32 games. In that last NCAA season, his first as a full-time starter, Lewis boasted a slash line of .440/.349/.761.
Lewis ranks as the top overall player on ESPN’s list of undrafted prospects.
Chicago also selected 6’7″ Arizona guard Dalen Terry with the No. 18 pick in the first round. The Bulls forfeited their second-round selection in this year’s draft.
Dalen Terry is a difference-making type in the flow of a game, a taller Caruso. Good insurance if Lonzo cannot get over his thing. Like Dyson Daniels, needs to work on his shot.
They need to sign Kofi to play with Ayo again! He could come in with the second team and lock down the inside, rebound like Rodman and add in a few points.
He signed with the Jazz already
