The Chicago Bulls have a very big Nikola Vucevic problem so far this season. His shooting from beyond the arc is at its worst since the 2015-16 NBA season, and he has been making the Bulls worse when he plays despite taking up a significant portion of the team’s cap space.
Will he play tick up when the ball club is healthier and has something to play for? Or is the first glimpse of an inevitable decline due to the undefeated nature of Father Time? The answer for Chicago could shape the team’s future for the medium term at a moment where even the short-term plans of the Bulls’ front office remain unclear.
With two more seasons getting paid at about $20 million a season ahead of him, fans of Chicago should hope he returns to form lest the executives need to burn more draft capital to get off his contract.
The host of the “Chicago Bulls Central” podcast, Haize, weighed in on the situation for a recent episode. Check it out above!
