Nikola Vucevic’s Bulls teammates need to continue remembering his value

Should be.

Even when he’s working next to the other frontcourt players on the Bulls roster in practices and shootarounds, Vucevic carries a different appearance. More mass, more presence. The type of body that screams, “Dang right I shop at the Big & Tall Store!’’

It’s about time his teammates started noticing that.

“We’re just trying to do a better job playing through Vooch,’’ veteran DeMar DeRozan said after the team’s latest win. “Especially with me and Zach [LaVine] getting pressured so much. Once [Vucevic] gets going, it makes everybody else’s job easier.’’

Kind of the point Vucevic has been insisting all season long.
