Matas Buzelis wants Billy Donovan back next season

With speculation surrounding Billy Donovan’s future in Chicago, the Bulls second-year forward Matas Buzelis made it clear he’d like to see the team head coach remain in place next season, as Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times reports.

“He’s been everything, man,” Buzelis said. “He’s been a role model to me; he’s someone I look up to as a person, as a human being. He’s a guy that’s been a cornerstone for me. He’s pushed me to my limits, and he’s going to keep pushing me until I can’t be pushed anymore.

“I can’t thank somebody like that enough. He tells you the truth every time. It’s hard to do that, especially in this league, to have someone in your corner that is going to tell you everything you need to hear.”

Matas Buzelis hopes Bulls coach Billy Donovan returns next season, plus more from the Central Division. https://t.co/TTLcsIT94H
