It goes back and forth but typically vucevic is an inefficient offensive player for his role and a below average defensive player on average. There are some games when vucevic will be a game changing player on offense but they're not consistent enough to outweigh his poor games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two players who are best dominating the ball. Vuch doesn't play defense consistently enough which slows EP down. EP is at his best running the break. Having a center who can initiate breaks with defensive plays and runs hard compliments EP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That link is stupid. It takes one specific play and sums Mario up as an whole and if Frank doesn't ever give him another minute because of that one play, he shouldn't be coaching. That's something that every PG has done a few times in their lives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just making the simple pass is best. I don't understand the reasonings for the second clip though. It worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are some games when vucevic will be a game changing player on offense but they're not consistent enough to outweigh his poor games I get that, but the question was actually a bit more nuanced. The assertion was that we were better as a team without Vuch. I responded that we shouldn’t draw general conclusions after just one game. Whether or not we’re better without Vuch doesn’t only depend on the characteristics you mentioned above, but also on what we have to replace him with. There are significant risks to our offense, given that neither Payton nor Simmons can shoot very well, in playing Biyombo big minutes with the starting line-up. The question isn’t whether Vuch is a great center. I think we all know the answer to that one. The question is whether we’re better without him, given the current players on the team. I don’t think we know the answer yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
