Question #4: Where do the Bulls find a center?
As their roster stands right now, the Bulls might have the worst rim protection in the NBA.
They have two centers who can’t defend the post and who aren’t good on the perimeter either.
Vucevic was terrible defensively last season and there is no reason to expect him to be better. Jalen Smith is not atrocious, but he doesn’t block many shots and has been shoved around in the post in the past.
Vucevic is obviously not the long-term answer. Smith can be a piece of a rotation, as he provides other valuable skills, particularly his ability to spread the floor.
But the Bulls need to start thinking about the big man of the future, as well as someone to fill out their depth chart for next season.
