Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
Maybe there’s no clear answer to those questions. It may be that different archetypes are more valuable for different teams.
For example, a team lacking in offensive creation may find more use for Vucevic. On the other hand, a team with, for example, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan on it may find more use for a rim protector like Robinson.
That’s the point here. The Bulls don’t need Vucevic’s low post scoring and playmaking. They have two primary ball handlers. By contrast, they could badly use Robinson’s defensive abilities.
His vertical spacing ought to make life easier for LaVine and DeRozan as well. Suddenly, the Bulls would have a more credible pick-and-roll at their disposal.
