After hearing Tuesday the Bulls would sign him to a second 10-day contract, Schenscher got a rare chance to show why he should stick around. He came into the game averaging a point and a rebound in four appearances, but he finished with 10 points and four rebounds in 18 minutes against Portland.
Chants of "Luuuuke" filled the arena whenever the 7-foot-1 Schenscher hit one of his five field goals, which included several long jumpers.
"I've always had [the jumper]," Schenscher said. "[Assistant coach Ron Adams] said if I'm open I can take it, so that gave me confidence."
