The Bulls added even more international flavor to their frontcourt Sunday, signing 6-foot-10 big man Cristiano Felicio out of Brazil.
Felicio, who's currently playing for the Bulls' Summer League team, is 23 years old. The Bulls did not announce the terms of the contract.
“We've been impressed with Cristiano's work ethic and potential,” Bulls general manager Gar Forman said in the team's announcement. “We're looking forward to working with him and having him come to camp with us this fall.”

In two Summer League games this year, Felicio has scored four points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 25 minutes of action.
The Bulls' big-man corps is a regular United Nations at this point. Felicio, a native of Pouso Alegre, Brazil, joins Pau Gasol (Spain), Nikola Mirotic (Montenegro), Cameron Bairstow (Australia), Taj Gibson (United States), Bobby Portis (United States) and Joakim Noah, who was born in the U.S. to parents from France and Sweden.
