It's time to start the Vucevic All-Star campaign.

He deserves to be an all-star. He does, not just because I'm a Magic fan, he has played as an all-star

He absolutely does. Everyone knows I’m Pro Vuc but this guy deserves it with his play. Even more he’s always worked hard here, gotten better every year, always does what he’s asked and he’s consistent. Now he’s become credible from the 3, in his contract year, and as he hits his prime. I’m just happy for the kid because he deserves it after what he’s had to endure here.

Does anyone know how you can find out Vuc’s impact on the offense from passing? Those shots that don’t show up as assists but ended up being a shot after a pass and dribble?

Try here...

Vucevic is No. 1 on the team in passes and No. 2 on the team in potential assists (a pass to a teammate that leads to a missed shot).

Vuc, easily.

Question is.. is he playing for contract yr or has he actually improved?

Vucevic deserves a lot of credit. Not many fans, myself included, wanted him on the team this season. His play, so far, has been very strong and consistent. He's even improved a little on defense. Props to Vooch for his loyalty and dedication, man. I'm not sure his future is in Orlando, but I sure do appreciate him giving it his all night in and night out.

I don't think there's any public stat that in-depth, but that kind of assist-setup or offensive outcome, and other things like hockey-assists, run speed & distance, deflections on defense, and clutch plays, is definitely the kind of stuff that I think many NBA teams make for themselves. It is like a scouting-assisted, premium box score.

Must take a lot of work, but it's very interesting, and very big for evaluating players, imo.
