Vucevic recorded a "Vucevic" on 13th November 2013 and 12th November 2018. Even averaging similar days.
NBA - Main
Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
Every 5 years? He's due for one then!
Over 833 career games he's averaged 17.0/10.5/2.8
much closer if you factor in the games where he only started 17.6/10.8/2.9
Model of consistency
Embodiment of mid?
17,6/11/3 isn't mid bruh
He's averaged 17/10.5/2.8 over 834 games on 50/35/76 shooting splits. Do you guys even know what mid means
Vucevic just looks like he clocks in to do the work he is paid for. And isnt interested in more. He's in my top 3 of most passionless players in the league.
Deandre Ayton in shambles
Ayton is paid like a superstar, so he would have to be doing way more for that
He played 82 games as a center for the Bulls last year. Just because hes calm doesn't mean hes not passionate. Lame ass take
He hasnt played with any legit players....Put him on a good team and those stats will look great....also needs a pick and roll/pop guard to unlock his game
Okafor wishes he could roll out of bed this good.
I guess Bulls always new what they were getting when they traded for Vuc :)
Gonna take this opportunity to defend the trade, at least a little bit, for people who like to dunk on it.
When we made the trade in 2021 we were rudderless. Zach, our only asset, was showing a lot of promise and a threat to leave in FA, so we traded two firsts and a rotation player that wasn't going to move the needle to keep him and potentially add to it. Keep in mind we had a new coach/GM, rookie PAW, 2nd year Coby. We were a little under 500. With Vuc the pick was tracking to be in the ~15 range. Then COVID hit our team and we floundered, landing at 8. Tough break, but that's fine. It's rare to find value at 8 - we would know.
That trade got us Demar and Lonzo, we brought in Caruso, and we were playing WELL. Not a title contender, but a team that could easily make the ECF. Then Lonzo gets hurt, Pat doesn't develop, Donovan sucks, and the rest is history. Magic got the 11 pick in 2023 to complete the trade.
So two picks that, if we'd stay healthy, would've been 15 and ~20+, became 8 and 11, which rarely become special anyway. Magic got a guy that looks like a future all star. Happy for them!
We still got Vuc though, and he's a top 10 center, but obviously we were hoping for a little more.
C'est la vie, you shoot your shot.
One of the players you exactly know what to expect from. No more, no less.
Vucevic does what he does
I always wish Miami traded for him. I’d love to have him next to Bam.
Its obvious that he chases these numbers. If he scores 15 in the first half, he will barely shoot in the second half. If the 4th quarter rolls around and he only has 2 rebounds, he fights for the rebounds like his life depends on it. If he managed to get 17/10/3 by the end of the first quarter, he checks out of the game with "flu-like symptoms".
Major drop off.
He is consistently one of the best fantasy players to get every year. He clocks in. Does his job. Will probably do the same thing again the next day.
I saw a graphic somewhere that showed a player having the exact same stat line in back to back seasons, I think one of them might have been midway through the second season. I think it might’ve been Allen Crabbe but I’m not too sure.
Clearly past his peak and declining now /s
that's wild, has that ever happened before? his blocks and steals were the exact same to one decimal too
Job security.
The picture of consistency
Be unpredictable
That trade looks worse every day
Tim Duncan is who comes to my mind when I think Mr Consistency.
Its insane how much vuc has declined in just one season
Cross sport example but Khris Davis in MLB batted .247 exactly for like 4 straight seasons. Closest comp probably.
Bro. This guy gonna be a stat god in a different way
Bulls would rather have every piece they traded for him over him
If you still don't believe that we live in a simulation, I don't know what to tell you
STEEP DECLINE
Honestly vooch been the best player for us so far this year. Playing his best defense out of the three years, grabbing more offensive boards, and is the only dude consistently scoring. He’s never injured too
As a Bulls fan I'd prefer If he averaged 2.9 / 10.9 / 17.6, at least there'd be some novelty in it and it would help the tank.
