Vuc enters and the Denver lead immediately grows.

Vuc will be benched 10 games into the season. He's that bad.

Ayo still lookin nice out there.
Would like to see if he can hit a 3 along with all those layups.

Is Tre hurt? This game would be more watchable with him instead of Carter/Terry.

This comment is coming a little late, but it's interesting that when Essengue plays he guards perimeter players -- and not the weakest ones. He was on Braun when he was in the game, and I saw something similar against Cleveland.

his most obvious talent on draft night imo is a jalen johnson type defensive profile, with even more length. He moves his feet well.

I'll go ahead and make a sig bet that Mikal is better by RPM this year than Zach.

He measured longer


Then I don't see why Noa can't play center once he puts on some mass

There are three players that get too much playing time this preseason. Vuc, Terry and Pat.

Take those minutes and give them to Smith, Noa and Phillips.

The nba game is still too fast for terry. He's fumbling around in a pre season game where players are half playing defense

Yeah, he's just not NBA caliber not matter how hard he tries.

I hate feeling like a crazy person, being part of a crazy family, seeing the same thing happen for 5 seasons straight.

He's an example of when I write that young players need to earn their court time, rather than be handed it. Because teams only have a limited amount of game time that they can hand out to prospects. It's not a free resource. And every minute given to Jalen Terry is a minute not given to a guy who could become a real player.

The most important part to me is that AKME recognizes it and decides to move on. We cant be a charity case. Make the hard decisions and do what is best for the franchise moving forward.

If Dalen aint it, try try again with someone else.

If Vuc isn’t going to do anything offensively he’s useless.

I really liked Smith at the PF position. Play with size.

Denver is awesome. Absolutely no weak links.

I have not impressed with Okoro at all. They could cut him and not miss anything.

Not just Okoro, but almost all the Bulls defensive first guys are overrated at defense.

Tre and Coby come back soon.

Billy, he's not going to get better. Just sit him and see what you got on the bench
