The Chicago Bulls have just made a bold move, signing forward Trentyn Flowers to a two-way contract, adding a dynamic and versatile talent to their roster. Standing at 6’9″ and weighing 185 pounds, Flowers may not be the heaviest player in the league, but his explosive playstyle and proven scoring ability make him a force to be reckoned with. The 20-year-old phenom is already turning heads, and the NBA should take notice—this young star could be a game-changer for the Bulls.

A Glimpse of Greatness with the Clippers
Flowers’ brief stint with the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2024-25 season showcased his potential, even in limited minutes. Appearing in just six games, he averaged 1.8 points and 0.7 rebounds in 4.5 minutes per game. While those numbers might seem modest, his efficiency and flashes of brilliance hint at a much bigger impact waiting to unfold.
Where Flowers truly shined was in the G League with the San Diego Clippers, the Clippers’ affiliate. In 27 games (21 starts), he dominated, posting an impressive 20.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game in 32.5 minutes. His shooting splits were equally remarkable, with a .470 field goal percentage and a .372 three-point percentage. Flowers led San Diego in total points (541) and ranked second in three-pointers made (55), proving he can score in bunches and stretch the floor with his long-range shooting.
A Rising Star from Down Under
Before his time with the Clippers, Flowers cut his teeth in Australia’s National Basketball League (NBL) with the Adelaide 36ers during the 2023-24 season. In 18 games, he averaged 5.2 points and 2.9 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per game, showing his ability to compete against seasoned professionals at just 19 years old. His experience in the NBL, one of the most competitive leagues outside the NBA, gave him a head start in developing the skills needed to thrive at the highest level.
A Versatile Talent with a Bright Future
Hailing from Towson, Maryland, Flowers brings a unique combination of size, athleticism, and skill to the Bulls. At 6’9″, he has the length to defend multiple positions and the shooting touch to stretch defenses. His performance in the G League demonstrates his ability to be a high-volume scorer, while his playmaking (2.0 assists per game) shows he’s more than just a bucket-getter. Additionally, his participation in the USA Basketball U19 National Team Training Camp in 2023 highlights his potential as a future star on the international stage.
Why the NBA Should Be on Alert
The Bulls’ decision to sign Flowers to a two-way contract is a low-risk, high-reward move. His ability to score efficiently, knock down threes, and contribute on both ends of the floor makes him a perfect fit for a Chicago team looking to inject youth and energy into their lineup. While his NBA minutes with the Clippers were limited, his G League dominance suggests he’s ready to take on a bigger role. Opposing teams will need to game-plan for this “crushing machine” whose combination of size, skill, and fearlessness could make him a matchup nightmare.
As Flowers steps into the Windy City, Bulls fans have every reason to be excited. This young forward has the tools to become a cornerstone for the franchise, and his journey is just beginning. Watch out, NBA—Trentyn Flowers is ready to make some noise!
