Don’t forget ‘Vooch,’ says Bulls big man Nikola Vucevic and his coach

That’s not how the Bulls big man is wired.

What he would like to see is more touches. An opportunity to show his teammates that when the ball goes through him he has the ability to make their lives on the court easier.

Maybe he’s finally starting to be heard.

“To me it’s not the fact of get me the ball to shoot it,’’ Vucevic said on Saturday. “One thing about me, which I think is one of my best qualities, is I make the game easier for everybody. Lot of times like the way DeMar [DeRozan] and Zach [LaVine] are guarded, getting doubled, getting blitzed, all that, the defense focuses so much on them that I can always be an outlet and make plays out of it.
