The Chicago Bulls have announced the hiring of Onuralp Bitim as a standard player on a multi-year deal. The Turkish guard had only played two games with the Illinois team, but his performance in the G League has earned him the last spot on the roster.
Bitim was being one of the best shooters in the affiliate league, averaging more than 3 triples per game with over 43% success rate. Although in the NBA he has not yet scored a single point in the 5 minutes he has on the court.
