He was one of the main reasons why Orlando was one of the best teams in the 2nd half of the season.
He is a teamplayer makes the right passes and gets his buckets comfortably in the paint also has added a 3-point jumper to his regime, what more can you ask from a center? Stevens system will make his defense even better so im not worried about that.
Plus he moves way better than Horford does. People forget how agile he is for his size.
Obviously everyone looks better in a highlight reel, but my fear here is the amount of touches he got in the post. Orlando clearly utilized him in isolated post play a bit and I just don't see Stevens doing the same NOR do I see that as a great fit with Tatum.
Again, Vooch is great. But his post game won't be utilized as much here with Brad at the helm. It's like signing Tim Wakefield and asking him not to throw the knuckle as much. Makes him less useful on the team and less valuable
I'm just showing how agile he is with the highlights. Not how good he is etc. And it doesnt matter if he gets less touches. People forget how one dimensional our offense got.. We had no 2nd game plan.. We hardly scored in the paint last season and lacked offensive rebounding. Hardly got those 2nd chance points. Instead we gave the opponents 2nd chance because we sucked at the defensive boards.
With Vuc you can change tactics and switch after each timeout to keep your opponents guessing. If we are switching to i.e. Hayward, opening lanes for him and let him drive he can also kick the ball to Vuc if needed for the 3 pointer.. You cant do that with a Capela or Adams on your team. The game has changed for the big men.
A player like Capela is vulnerable when you play against the good teams. This era is about spreading the floor, drive and kick the ball and your center has to be able to hit that 3 also when your wing drives to the basket and kicks the ball to him.
We lacked defensive rebounding as well and Vuc will solve that issue as well. Vuc will give us everything offensively and rebounding wise we didnt got from Horford. I'm not worried about his defense because Stevens makes the player look defensively better. Every player that has left this team didnt perform so good anymore. Because Brad's system made them look better.

Again, I like Vooch...just not under Brad. Brad does best with PGs who can penetrate the lane, bigs who can space etc. I don't see him working well with Vooch and putting him in position to be successful. Is there a better FA option or player to absorb via cap? I don't love the Capella OR Adams scenarios either to be honest. The only guys that get me excited are Kevin Love OR Mason Plumlee if we can get Monte Morris also, but neither is rumored. But since this is just REALGM let's analyze those options.
Kevin Love -> I would probably take a flyer on Jordan Clarkson also, but regardless Love is a great target. I think he can obviously space, carry the offense some and rebound. He has played the small ball 5 slot in recent years so I see him operating well there. Clarkson could serve some as a stop gap PG in case Rozzy is not retained. Love to me though is better than Vooch and probably on a similar deal.
en his playoff stats even at 11.5 pts 6.7 ren and 1 block in 5 games could have been a difference in our series.
