The Bulls have waived guard Javon Freeman-Liberty, the team announced today (via Twitter). The move reduces Chicago’s roster count to 19 players.
Freeman-Liberty went pro earlier this year after declaring for the draft following his senior year at DePaul, forgoing his additional year of college eligibility. In 2021/22, he averaged 21.7 PPG, 7.3 RPG, and 3.2 APG on .430/.368/.739 shooting in 24 games (34.9 MPG) for the Blue Demons.
Freeman-Liberty played for the Bulls’ Summer League team in Las Vegas, then appeared in the team’s second preseason game on Friday, scoring eight points in just six minutes of action.
Because Freeman-Liberty had been on an Exhibit 10 contract, he’ll be eligible for a $50K bonus if he signs a G League contract and spends at least 60 days with the Windy City Bulls, Chicago’s NBAGL affiliate.
He looked raw but promising in the pre season game, hope he develops.
