Daily Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have announced they have waived guard Javon Freeman-Liberty. The undrafted rookie from Chicago played on the Bulls Summer League team and appeared in one preseason game (last night against Denver).

Last night against Denver, Liberty scored eight points and made two three-pointers in the game’s final six minutes. His best performance came when he scored 11 points and shot 4-for-7 from the field in a 119-104 win over the 76ers. While in Vegas with the Bulls, he averaged 6.6 points on 38.7% shooting from the field and 40% from three. During his senior year at DePaul, he averaged 21.7 points and 7.3 rebounds and shot 43% from the field.

Liberty will get his chance somewhere else

Liberty’s career is not over, and he will most likely get the chance to compete for a two-way contract elsewhere. Another option for Liberty is getting a G League contract and working his way up to the NBA. If the 29 other NBA teams don’t give him a chance, the Chicago Bulls G League team, The Windy City Bulls, might give him a chance.

Why not give the guy from Chicago who went to DePaul a chance? The last option for Liberty is to play basketball overseas. Current Bulls forward Javonte Green played overseas before returning to the NBA.

Who is still competing for the Two-Way Contract?

The main three players competing for the two-way contract are Kostas Antetokounmpo, Carlik Jones, and Malcolm Hill. Every NBA team can offer up to two two-way contracts. Justin Lewis has one of the two two-way contracts. Malcolm Hill signed a two-way contract already, but Chicago can give the contract to either Kostas or Carlik. These players will get fewer minutes every game, with the starters getting more minutes every game, according to Head Coach Billy Donavon.
