Nobody in the NBA likes being put on a poster, and Bulls rookie Noa Essengue didn’t need to wait long before being put on one. The youngster balled out against the Pacers on Monday night, but nobody will remember his 21 point performance, because this happened.

Johnny Furphy's dunk was the game's biggest moment and rookie Kam Jones had his best game so far, but the Pacers fell to the Bulls in Summer League.

The Chicago Bulls defeated the Indiana Pacers and it's safe to say the rising talent led the way. The team's 2024-and-2025 first-round picks combined for 49 points in the winning effort and fans believe the future could be bright for their franchise.

League may not have stars playing on the court, as most of those playing are young players or those trying to earn the right to an NBA contract.

John Tonje made his Summer League debut for Utah and finished with 16 points and four three-pointers. The 24-year-old rookie shined at Wisconsin last season and could be an NBA-ready scoring option for the Jazz this year, though the amount of depth Utah has will make it difficult for him to earn minutes.

The Bulls’ 2025 preseason schedule is out, and rookie Noa Essengue will be the player to watch. Here’s what to expect from the early matchups.

The viral dunk drew widespread praise from fans and brands alike. Puma Basketball chimed in with “ON HIS HEAD,” while other fans called it the “Dunk of the Summer League” and joked about Furphy entering next year’s Slam Dunk Contest.
