Nikola Vucevic Posts Inefficient Double-Double On Wednesday
3 years agoChicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic posted 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds while shooting 34.8% from the field during a 115-92 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. The 31-year-old also went 1-for-7 from behind the arc and 1-for-2 from the line. The USC product collected two blocks across 31 minutes Vuc has had a rough start to the season, averaging 15.2 points per game while shooting below 42% from the field, including below 36.1 from behind the arc, and an uncharacteristically poor 63.3% from the line. With guard Zach LaVine and forward DeMar DeRozan running the show in the Windy City, the big man's stats were sure to take a hit. Vucevic's season hasn't been a complete dud, pitching in with 10.6 boards, 2.0 stocks, and 1.7 triples per game. The Montenegrin big man should start to see some positive regression at the percentages with quality looks, making him an intriguing buy-low option.
