Lost amid the Nikola Kusturica buzz is the strong start by UCLA freshman Joe Philon. Think Jaylen Clark's game in Peyton Watson's body. Had 17 and five steals in Friday night's rout of North Florida. Bruins have two of the best freshmen in the country.

UCLA's Nikola Kusturica continues to showcase why he's a special talent The 6-9 17-year old Serbian took over in this one vs UNF playing a total of 23 minutes, yet went for 29 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists on just 12 shots Truly a game changer on the defensive end thanks to his length, athleticism and non stop motor. Never will take a play off but the offensive flashes today were awesome as well. Has serious athletic strides that aren't teachable, shot it well, can pass and handle the ball, just the total package that's only getting better by the day. Remarkable talent

It’s going to be a ton of fun for folks in Pauley to see what Nikola Kusturica can become. UCLA has a monster talent.

UCLA’s Nikola Kusturica is the best prospect in the world. Even better than Duke’s Joaquim Boumjte Boumtje. 26 points on 9-for-9 shooting with five rebounds, three assists, two stocks and two dunks … in the first half.

I am incredibly honored for the opportunity to serve as Head Coach of the Windy City Bulls. Leaving the University of Washington is bittersweet. I am deeply thankful to Coach Sprinkle, the players, staff, Husky Nation, and the entire UW community for welcoming my family and I back, and allowing me to be part of such a special program. The relationships I built and the lessons I learned during my time at UW as a student, athlete, and a coach will stay with me throughout my coaching career. I am a Dawg forever. Becoming a head coach has always been a dream of mine, and I am excited to take this next step as I look forward to developing our players both on and off the court, building a strong culture, and competing daily. My family and I are excited to begin this new chapter in Chicago, and I am grateful to everyone who has supported along the way. Let’s get to work! -QP
