Nerlens Noel
On the other hand, maybe the Chicago Bulls aren’t in the market for a new starting center.
They may expect Vucevic’s three-point accuracy to return to its normal rate next season. That would be a fair expectation. If that’s the case, they may be more interested in acquiring a defensive-minded backup for him.
Nerlens Noel would be about the best option they could find in that regard. He’s a strong rim protector in his own right, and he’s a better defender in space than Turner. He doesn’t provide the same floor spacing, but as a backup, that’s much less of a concern.
Meanwhile, rumors suggest the Knicks could make him available. Apparently, they’re focused on resigning Mitchell Robinson and committing to him as their starting center.
