Dec 14, 2024 · Detroit in: Nikola Vucevic and Chris Duarte Why for Chicago: Tim Hardway is an expiring contract which frees up 2025 cap space in Chicago. Reed steps in as part of the center rotation and at 25 years old continues the theme of recent Bulls moved in getting younger players. And the Toronto 2nd could be a decent pick based on their record so far.

Dec 30, 2024 · But you cannot fit Vucevic/LeBron/Davis on heavy rotations as the perimeter defense is still a little suspect. DFS helps but he's not guarding the smaller quicker guys. Which is also Lebron's biggest weakness now days is he's still a super intelligent defender and still makes up for lack of burst with being disciplined as picking when he ...

Sep 25, 2024 · Plays with energy all day/better defender/better lob threat. Ultimately has limitations cuz of his size but so does Vucevic. Raptors - Poeltl - another 50/50 you could argue but i think if it was game 5 of any important playoff game and a serious head coach had to pick between him and Vucevic to start they'd all take Jakob. Much better defender ...

Jan 25, 2025 · Vucevic would be a fun player on the Spurs but not so sure a winning one. His fit with Wemby on defense is bad, he'd have to guard mostly on the perimeter and he'd get murdered in space, and if he comes off the bench what Spurs need the most as a backup 5 is a rim protector rather than a floor spacer, so he doesn't solve the problem there.

Jan 17, 2025 · Vucevic has aged well on offense. He just had 40 pt game, is shooting very efficiently this year. He has an eFG% of 62% on 15 shots a game. If you plug ihim into a well running offense his production still outvalues his average defense. He gets 10 board a game too. Seems like the most impactful player for this season

Dec 15, 2024 · I think Vucevic makes more sense for more teams because of his ability to space the floor. He's putting up career high numbers shooting the ball. Gstate, Pelicans and many of other teams need a spacer than a paint clogger tbh.
