Yuki Kawamura

At a listed 5-foot-8, Kawamura is one of basketball's genuine crowd magnets — a pace-pushing Japanese point guard whose fearless downhill drives and deep range have made him a phenomenon well beyond the box score. After a two-way stint with Memphis, he signed with Chicago in July 2025, but the season nearly derailed before it began: the Bulls waived him in October when a lower-leg issue was diagnosed as a blood clot. He fought back, re-signed in January 2026, and made his Bulls debut on the 31st. His NBA minutes stay limited — at his size the defensive matchups are unforgiving — but his passing vision and gravity as a shooter are real skills. A fixture for Japan's national team, he keeps chasing a firmer NBA foothold.
