So more like last year than how he started the year... Still time I guess if he's still working himself back, I was really afraid the injury would set him back, I guess it's still too early to tell. Nice double double last night and if donovan can trust him that might just be enough
They've been without their 2 best players like all year so their record of course is gonna be much worse. I'll give them a bit more credit now that PG is back and seemingly not really missing a beat.
Also note, Bulls won in OT, in which Paul George played zero minutes due to his minutes limitation.
I somewhat disagree, I do think Vuc can be effective in a high PnR situation, he just needs to actually be a roll man. A lot of times he's popping out to the 3pt line which I think neutralizes an entire aspect of his game, and that is the one you want to see (ie Vuc going to the rim). Idk if BD is having him do that because they want to establish him as a 3pt threat or something, but imo it's wasting the part of Vuc's game that makes him most dangerous. Especially as his 3pt% is way down this year but his 2pt% is as good as its ever been. He doesn't necessarily need to be posting up all the time (though I wouldn't be mad about more post touches for him), but getting him action going towards the basket instead of just hanging at the 3pt line or the far midrange would do a lot, imo.
Definitely helped. At the same time, if Demar hits that last FT, there is no OT.
There’s a lot of factors at play here. Part of it is Coby/Ayo and others tailing off. Part of it is they’re not getting the assists they did in transition because their D sucks. Some of it is poor shot selection. Another part is there’s a lot of tape out there and teams know how to play the Bulls and the Bulls haven’t been able to adjust. The team has a lot of problems and that’s why they don’t have a win against a quality opponent the entire season
Vuc as the roll Man from the 3 pt line? Not his game…he’s too slow. What’s happening is guys are cheating off Vuc and trapping the ball handler because Vuc has been a poor 3 pt shooter. On the other hand, he’s been very efficient in the post and it also seems to help his 3 pt game. Like Stacey says, it’s a simple game. You have to play to guys strengths and Vuc is a much better post player than he is a pick and pop 3 pt shooter it’s painfully obvious and he’s way too slow to do anything rolling to the basket from 20+ feet out.
Correct. But don’t you think something like poor defense can be at least partially attributed to 4/5 guys on offense standing around. Getting guys going on the offensive end helps get guys more interested in playing defense as well
No, I don’t contribute the bulls defensive woes to anything related to their offense. Defense should be the one constant no matter what. Unfortunately, they just don’t bring the energy and intensity on that end and their overall team defensive awareness is abysmal.
Really though? So many PnR plays are done from the 3pt line or close to it. So then if what you say is true and there's no point in rolling from the 3pt line after a screen, he might as well just pop every time for 3.
I agree there needs to be some variance
