yep...but I think some of the comments are untimely given the different team makeup now. Most of all, Vcc-centric offense was Cliff, IMO, doing what he could with what he had to win tonight's game. Vuc's skills and the rest of the team's lack thereof made running things through him the sensible choice if Cliff's marching orders were...get to the playoffs. Fournier, for all of his shortcomings was the best option for Vuc to kick out to...all the talk of "buddy-ball", IMO, wasn't fair to the players - nobody else could shoot or score other than DJ Augustine. Cliff & Vuc carried that mis-matched unit farther than it deserved.
Anyway, that ship has sailed, but Vuc is not bad, or selfish, or unworthy of his All-Star nods at that time. His defense generally sucks but he was a very good player. Earlier in his career with us, he battled Kevin Love for the rebounding title right down to the last week of the season and had absolutely flawless low-post fundamentals - before the NBA shifted and moved him out to the 3pt line. Cheers Vuc, maybe see you in 2 years in a smaller role at a smaller price!
