The Bulls signed Shittu to a contract Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The Bulls haven't specified the terms of Shittu's contract, but he's presumably joining the team on an Exhibit 10 deal that would make him eligible to join Chicago's G League affiliate (Windy City Bulls) at the conclusion of training camp. Shittu spent the 2019-20 season with Windy City, averaging 12.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 20.2 minutes per game.

Shittu recorded 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-3 FT) and seven rebounds across 30 minutes in Sunday's G League win over Maine.
EDGE Analysis
The undrafted rookie out of Vanderbilt started this game because of a few call-ups, and he answered the bell. He's knocked down 56.5 percent of field goals this year, and while he almost never shoots from beyond the arc, he had a solid performance from the line.

Shittu posted 26 points (11-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT) and 15 rebounds across 35 minutes in Monday's G League loss to Maine.
EDGE Analysis
Shittu has bumped into a starting role over the past few weeks, and he capitalized well in this contest by leading the team in points and rebounds. His shooting was efficient in this contest, which is on par with his season, as he's connected on 56.3 percent of field goals.

Shittu posted 17 points (5-11 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Saturday's G League loss to Grand Rapids.
EDGE Analysis
Shittu played less than any other starter and finished minus-20. The 20-year-old has just recently earned a starting role, and he's been quite efficient this season, connecting on 56.9 percent of field goals.

Shittu supplied 24 points (10-18 FG, 3-5 FT), 15 rebounds, two steals and one assist in 37 minutes Saturday in Windy City's 100-99 loss to the Erie BayHawks.
EDGE Analysis
The 6-foot-10 center had played a combined 25 minutes over Windy City's prior two contests, but he saw a big boost in playing time Saturday after Jarred Vanderbilt was recalled by Denver. Vanderbilt isn't likely to be in store for an extended stint in the NBA, so Shittu's spike in minutes might not continue far beyond Saturday.

Shittu posted 29 points (12-19 FG, 4-4 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists in Saturday's G League loss to Westchester.
EDGE Analysis
Shittu doesn't often shoot this much -- he averaged just 5.6 field-goal attempts per game -- but he also rarely plays this much off the bench. The 20-year-old played 31 minutes compared to his average of 14.1 minutes per game. With this solid performance, Shittu could garner additional playing time moving forward.

Shittu posted 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and two assists in Wednesday's G League win over Greensboro.
EDGE Analysis
Shittu continues to be one of Windy City's most efficient shooters, as he's drained 62.0 percent of field goals, although he hasn't attempted a three-pointer this year. The 6-foot-10 forward has averaged 4.5 rebounds per game as well.

Shittu posted 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists in Saturday's G League loss to Austin.
EDGE Analysis
The undrafted rookie out of Vanderbilt has worked his way into a starting role, and stats have enjoyed the promotion, as he exceeded his averages of 8.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Whether Shittu stays a starter remains to be seen, but he's certainly earned increased looks regardless.
