The Windy City Bulls have gotten some hardware this season with Mac McClung. He is one of the more famous players in the league, winning three consecutive NBA Slam Dunk Contests. On Friday, he continued to made history for his play. Let’s take a deeper dive into what McClung did and what it means going forward.

Mac McClung becomes the first player to win multiple G League MVP Awards

McClung has been able to showcase his abilities while playing basketball, as he won the 2025-26 G League Most Valuable Player Award on Friday. He put up incredible stats for the Windy City Bulls this season to lock up the award. McClung averaged a league-leading 31.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 7.9 assists over 40 games. However, his shooting stroke was the most impressive thing as he shot 51.5% from the floor and 38.1% from beyond the arc.

This is the second time in his career he won the G League MVP, also winning in 2023-24 with the Osceola Magic. McClung had a memorable season as he also became the G League’s all-time leading scorer, passing Renaldo Major in March. Below is what he said back in March about the record:

“I think it’s a product of good coaches and good teammates putting you in situations like this, and also a product of making the most out of whatever your opportunity is, killing your ego and getting better each year.”

McClung played a handful of games in the NBA this season as well. McClung was still part of All-Star Weekend, playing in the Rising Stars Game. He played a pair of games for the Chicago Bulls and three for the Indiana Pacers. The Windy City Bulls still managed to miss the playoffs, finishing 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 15-21 record. It will be intriguing to see if he is able to compete for a third G League MVP or if an NBA team will call him up for next season.

Chicago Bulls rookie Noa Essengue recorded his first double-double in the G League on Wednesday, leading the Windy City Bulls in scoring against the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Essengue produced 27 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in the 129-122 loss at Now Arena. He shot 8-of-18 from the field, including 2-of-7 from 3-point range, in 31 minutes as Windy City dropped to 4-2 to begin the season.

The 12th pick in the draft scored 11 points alone in the fourth quarter to help the Bulls pull to within six points in the final minute. He showcased his overall skill set, from his several finishes in transition to his 3-point shooting early in the contest.

Essengue has made two brief appearances with Chicago, totaling six minutes in their last two outings this week. Bulls coach Billy Donovan has used a 9-10 man rotation for much of the early going, leaving Essengue and others out of the fold.

The French teenager played his third game with Windy City on Wednesday, averaging 25.7 points, eight rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals on 50% shooting from the field. He has scored at least 20 points in each appearance, including a 28-point debut on Nov. 11.

Donovan said previously that Essengue would likely spend extensive time with Windy City to log minutes against high-level competition. The team has set forth a detailed development plan for Essengue and is looking to maximize his rookie campaign on the court.
