The small Japanese star just got signed by the Bulls.
Breaking: Chicago Bulls Sign Fan Favorite Yuki KawamuraAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Bulls and Kawamura have agreed to a two-way contract for next season. Kawamura posted averages of 9.6 points, 6.6 assists, and 2.2 steals across five Summer League games coming off the bench. While Kawamura could've signed anywhere, he's staying put in Chicago.
His numbers probably came from garbage time since he barely gets used, maybe because of his size. But this little guy’s got talent for sure.
He got some attention during the Olympics when his team pulled off a few upsets. Hopefully with the Bulls, he’ll be used more effectively.
Good luck to him.
He's sure got some talent and I am happy that he's signed by the Bulls. The Memphis has wasted his talent when they've got him already and just let him go. He's actually a good substitute when Bane was no longer with them. But then, we have to move on and wherever he is right now, it's the Bulls that took care of him and given him the chance to showcase his capacity even in the Summer League. If it's not with the Summer League, he would probably go back to Japan and just go on with the B League but the risk and time he's put and taken is worth it.
