The roster has changed but the goal hasn’t as it’s go-time for Bulls

The sample size is a mere five games for Nikola Vucevic in a Bulls uniform.

The numbers for the big man are 20.8 points per game, 9.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists. The bottom line number that matters, however? The 1-4 record.

So why will he be the most important Bull over the final 24 regular-season games? When the draft asset future is somewhat mortgaged and the philosophy both on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball are changed because of Vucevic’s presence, that in itself answers the question.

The Bulls seemingly went from undersized in the paint on most nights, to coming out of the Mar.
