Nikola Vucevic Stats

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic had a huge performance on the glass against Boston on Monday, grabbing 23 rebounds in a 120-102 win. The Celtics had Al Horford back on the court, but they still struggled to get any work done on the glass, with Vucevic picking up 10 board on the offensive end alone. He completed the night with a double-double, scoring 18 points on 7-for-19 shooting, and also handed out five assists with two turnovers in 31 minutes. Vucevic has had an inconsistent start to the season, as he's struggled to shoot efficiently and entered Monday's action after having posted just 12 rebounds in total across his previous two outings. The next matchup against the Myler Turner-less Pacers should help Vucevic to find some form. Centers are shooting nearly 60 percent from the field against Indiana and they are also allowing the fourth-most rebounds to the position.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic may receive an offer to remain with the team for a few more seasons. The veteran is entering the final year of his current deal. However, despite his obvious talent, he's coming off one of his worst seasons in recent memory, finishing 2021-22 by averaging 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.0 blocks. Vucevic has been considered one of the most skilled offensive big men in the league over the years, and he's seemingly always a double-double threat. Still, his defensive inefficiency could keep him off the floor unless he gets back on track, and his 31.4% shooting from deep last season was a detriment for category managers. Nevertheless, if Vucevic can turn things around and stay healthy in 2022-23, he has top-10 potential at the center position, even if he ends up surrendering minutes to Andre Drummond.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic could be on the move this offseason. The stud big man heavily struggled during his first season in Chicago. That being said, the Bulls are trying to find a better fit to place alongside DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. There have been rumors that the Bulls are interested in Rudy Gobert. It sounds like the Bulls are hesitant to move young talent such as Coby White or Patrick Williams. Although, that could change, assuming Gobert is available this offseason. A move to Utah could increase Vucevic's long term fantasy value.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic has been rumored to be on the move, especially if a deal would include Rudy Gobert or Deandre Ayton. Yet, with the veteran widely respected by many throughout the organization, there's a strong chance he could remain in the Windy City. The 31-year-old averaged 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals last season. However, while Vucevic has historically been proficient on the offensive end and the glass over the years, he has yet to play an entire year since entering the league in 2011.
