February 4, 20224 yr Long story short is what we already know: With Ball-Lavine-Caruso-DeRozan-Vuc on the floor, the Bulls are scary. Take that away and it hurts.

Poeltl would be a nice get, but he doesn't solve the hole at PF and I doubt he can play with Vuc. Covington going to LA is kind of a bummer as I think he would fit in nicely here.

Good get as a backup C, but I don't think he fits as a PF or playing with Vuc.

My guess is Billy likes DJJ a lot and giving Vuc rest would result in more Good Vuc than Bad Vuc?

February 5, 20224 yr Really like that Vucevic is stepping up recently. This is the guy that they thought they were getting from Orlando.

Basically has shut me up the past 3 games or so. If the Bulls get this Vuc come playoff time, they'll be a tough out.
February 5, 20224 yr Also I wanna send some love to the rookie Ayo. Man that kid has been unbelievable. Growing up in front of our very eyes.
February 5, 20224 yr Holy shit Ayo. Billy giving him 1-1 right there was awesome, he blew right by his guy and delivered a poster 15 points 14 assists, what a night from that kid Edited February 5, 20224 yr by BigHurt3515
February 5, 20224 yr Vucevic had a huge game because the Pacers didn't have anyone over 6'8 to guard him. He needs to play well on Sunday against Embiid so Billy can coach at the all-star game.

I hope to see Billy try to exploit Vuc’s size mismatch more often and mix up how much he’s down low and up top playing passer. He is really skilled in the paint and not a lot of guys can stop him.

He has played very well recently the biggest key is he's knocking down his threes now.
February 5, 20224 yr Author I feel like this may be the first bulls team I can remember that hasn’t pit its vets vs rookies/young players. Obviously many of those teams were successful, but it is a pretty fun atmosphere when they are all embracing what the rookie can do and pushing him up vs out of the way.
