Drell himself played 24 minutes, in that time scoring six points. He also grabbed six rebounds, provided four assists, made two steals, but also committed two turnovers and one foul.
Chicago's first-round draft pick this year, Lithuanian guard Matas Buzelis, also spent 29 minutes on the court and contributed 15 points plus seven rebounds.
The Bulls are due to play their next Summer League game against the Golden State Warriors in the early hours of Monday, Estonian time.
Drell, 24, signed with the Bulls last September, making his full NBA debut on March 14.
This made him only the second-ever Estonian to play in the NBA after Martin Müürsepp.
