I saw his highlights from the last game, his 3 ball looks more fluid now, if still a work in progress. I thought he was extremely solid last season, good defense and rebounding, a quality bench big. It made sense for him to go elsewhere, because we're 3 deep at C and PF, but it's a pity that basically none of those guys are long term guys. Vonleh would've been nice going forward. Yet another Bull that got away.
Did the Bulls even show interest in re-signing him?
With all the injuries that the Bulls have had he would've helped. He'd also be good to have just in case Portis leaves or is traded.
Vonleh IMO was underwhelming when he played for the Bulls, heavy and slow and took forever to gather himself for a shot. Rebounded well and played solid defence though.
He looks like a different player now with the Knicks, and his stats back that up. That's what a good offseason can achieve - and I'm pretty certain that if the FO had had an inkling he was going to take this big step forward, he would have stayed. But no one knew, and so the Knicks were able to pick him up for cheap. The good ole throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks paid off for them this time.
