I remember debating Vuc lovers on the Magic board for years about his defense but it was always the guards' problems or something else and never him.
He's solid one on one when he has to body someone up, otherwise he's just a sieve.

My new nickname for Ke-El Ware is "Walmart Wemby".
If you squint he kinda looks like him. Good young player with a ton of potential though.

He's carved out a great career for himself, but just hard to ever compete with him as a high usage guy.

These non-Jokic Euro bigs usually has the nice stats but always negative value to the team.

Even Doris is tired of the Bull's interior defense.

I am not criticizing you bro.
i am criticizing you. Just make it fair and post picks and takes before the games and not after results are in. You aren’t much of a genius if you got them right post the fact. LOL
You going Dallas or Sac the next game? Leaning Mavs spread
Sacramento.

Vucevic can't jump and Patrick Williams is allergic to boxing out.

Long-term, Bulls should just commit to going faster and adapt running fast paced style.
Vucevic should be dealt (no takers though) and try to get a more mobile 4/5
