5-star forward Matas Buzelis has chosen to bypass college to commit to the G-League Ignite for the 2023-24 season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Brewster Academy star chose the G-League Ignite over schools like Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina, among others. Ranked as the No. 6 player and third-ranked small forward by 247Sports’ composite, he will have the chance to accelerate his development by playing professionally
Buzelis quickly ascended on boards over the summer, going from a borderline top-50 selection to a bona fide 5-star recruit with offers across the nation. Listed at 6’10” and 175 pounds, he still has a lot of filling out to do, but he boasts a versatile game that allows him to excel on the perimeter.
“My versatility is the biggest thing,” he said, per Doug Bucshon of Rivals. “That’s what they like to see. Sharing the ball getting everyone involved, and shooting. Just doing everything on the court.”
