Noa Essengue is proving to be a quick study during the NBA Summer League, honing his skills after a challenging debut. In a remarkable adaptation, he dedicated significant time to film analysis, leading to noticeable improvements in his second game, where he recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Despite some struggles, including an uncharacteristic shooting night from beyond the arc, he showcased his potential by being aggressive on the boards and reducing turnovers, a point emphasized by Bulls' summer league coach Billy Donovan III.

However, his progress was halted by a leg injury, which he sustained while navigating a screen. Despite the setback, the Bulls remain optimistic about his return for the upcoming match against the Indiana Pacers. Other notable performances included Lachlan Olbrich's struggle against a taller opponent and Javon Freeman-Liberty's consistent scoring, marking him as a player to watch for potential future roster moves.
