Chicago Bulls receive: C Mitchell Robinson
New York Knicks receive: C Nikola Vucevic
With that said, both of these players provide plenty of value on a basketball floor. They just provide that value in different ways.
Vucevic is one of the sweetest shooting big men in the NBA. He’s also a plus passer with a wide array of post moves. With that said, his rim protection leaves much to be desired.
By contrast, Robinson doesn’t provide any spacing. In fact, he’s generally lacking in offensive polish. With that said, unlike Vucevic, he can catch a lob – and protect the rim as well.
The two bigs make for an interesting comparison.
