I opeend the thread planning to vote for Vuc and then saw the option for Billy and went with that.

The team is moving without the ball, setting off-ball screens, and are all willing passers. We've also been pretty good as a team defensivley despite a lot of players being indiviualy bad defenders.

Billy is putting this team in position to maximize their talent.

A case could be made that he isn't even one of the names listed.

This guy is averaging 19/6/4 and 2.4 STOCKS per36. Has played consistent, solid defense, doesn't turn the ball over. And for you plus/minus fans, he leads the team, and IT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE, with him MORE THAN DOUBLING the net per 100 of the next highest player. The team was +9 in his 27 minutes on the court in the 4 point win against the Pistons. They were +14 with him on the court in his 29 minutes in the 2 point win against the Magic. They were +8 in his 21 minutes on court in the 5 point win against the Hawks.

In the first 2 games, the Bulls were, for the most part, a bad team when he wasn't on the court.

But I voted Vuc.

Even funnier, because he's not even performing his best skill well so far.

IKR? I would go so far as to say he has been pitiful at what he is supposed to be best at.

I agree the sum is greater than the parts. That said Vuc has surprised me the most. :-o

Agreed on Vuc.
:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o
