This team would be sooooo much better defensively if Vuc had any kind of athleticism to protect the rim. Hes having a great season, but his lack of foot speed and vertical hurt us a lot.

He needs Jonathan Isaac next to him

Would be nice if the Bulls valued rim protection.

Barring a Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey, I’m taking a legitimate rim protector, actually 2 of them, in the next draft.

There’s just no reason Matas shouldn’t get 15 minutes a game. The talent is so obvious. I’m sorry Pat, but your minutes have to be cut.

I swear these IST floors are slippier than normal, I've seen players from every team slip on them like Lavine did.

Matas needs to play whether he struggles or not - that's the point. But he does offer a lot of positives. He's not overmatched on defense, he can switch onto anybody, he always runs the floor. And his 3-ball looks pretty decent, both in the box score and the eye test.

This current lineup is what I want to see over the final 40 games to start.

Matas has elite defensive potential.

Smith's mirage 3-pointer keeps looking legit.

He should be in front of Phillips. He actually does things on defense beside fall.
