Mouhamadou Gueye Joins the Chicago Bulls: A New Era Begins!
When the Chicago Bulls signed Muhammad Gay, it sent a ripple through NBA circles. Could he be the defensive spark this front court has been missing? Fresh off a run with the Capital City Go, the 27year-old unsigned Gem has built a reputation for delivering on what every team craves: reliable defense and rim protection. With averages of 9.7 points, five boards, and 1.7 assists in 18 G- League games, Gay showcased efficient scoring, an impressive 55.6% shooting rate, and nearly swatted a shot per contest. And this is the part most people miss. He does it all with remarkable consistency and little fanfare, drawing the eyes of scouts who aren’t fooled by stat padding. His journey isn’t straight out of a basketball fairy tale. As a Seneagalles American forward, he kicked off his pro career with the Texas Legends in 2022. A quick pit stop after a brief time on the Dallas Mavericks roster. The next chapter saw Gua making waves for Raptors 905, putting up standout performances, 13.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game during the 2023 24 season. Those numbers put him in serious talks for a coveted NBA 2-way contract. The Toronto Raptors granted him that NBA debut in February 2024. And though his minutes were limited, 11 games, averaging 2.4 points and 2.1 rebounds across nearly 11 minutes, scouts kept watching. A late 2023 neck injury threatened to stall his progress. But Guya’s shot blocking presence and kinetic athleticism kept his phone ringing. He briefly suited up for the Wizards in preseason, then reaffirmed his staying power in the G- League. Standing 6’9 with a wingspan built for intimidation, Gua energizes the paint with tip-ins, dunks, and a knack for rebounding that doesn’t rely on oversized hype. For a Bulls franchise that has long searched for serviceable depth at forward and center, his potential to impact both ends of the floor makes this signing a bold move. But here’s where the debate heats up. Is he the missing piece or just another G-League hopeful taking his shot? What do you think? Will Gays hustle and defense carve out a regular role in Chicago? Or will the Bulls keep fishing for frontcourt help next season? Drop your opinions below. Are you buying the hype or skeptical of another lowprofile pickup?
