From Adelaide to the bright lights of the Chicago Bulls, Lachlan Olbrich has etched his name into the franchise\u2019s history books with a remarkable performance in Monday (AEST)\u2019s 149\u2013139 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n

Just days after earning his first NBA start, the 22-year-old produced his first career triple-double, joining an exclusive group of Bulls rookies alongside Michael Jordan, Kirk and Jay Williams.<\/p>\n

In his second consecutive start, Olbrich finished with 10 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals, shooting an efficient 4-of-7 from the field.<\/p>\n

Despite the result, it was a strong way to close the season for both player and team, with Chicago finishing 12th in the Eastern Conference at 31-51 and missing the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Across 37 appearances, Olbrich averaged 9.3 minutes, 2.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists, splitting time between the Bulls and their G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls.<\/p>\n

Still on a two-way deal, his trajectory remains firmly upward.<\/p>\n

The 6\u20199 forward has enjoyed a rapid climb, winning a championship and MVP honours with the Canterbury Rams in 2024, followed by an NBL title with the Illawarra Hawks.<\/p>\n

He was then selected 55th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
