With Vooch the team allows 117.7 points per 100 possessions
Smith allows 112.7
Zach Collins 111.6
Plus minus for the year when they are on the floor
In 30 minutes of game time with vooch on the floor the teams is – 2.5. per game
Both Collins and Jalen smith are + 1.8 in 18 minutes.
They lead the team in plus minus.
Giddey leads the team in minutes per game at 32.8 and is -0.7.
This shows that collins and jalen smith are being under utilised and Vooch is playing to many minutes. This team defensive rating would look so much better with less Vooch.

Lol plus/minus is the most pointless stat to judge a player off of. While I agree Vooch is awful defensively plus/minus just means the team is bad and loses a lot. Zach Lavine has the 5th worst plus/minus of all time at -1999. Wanna know why? It’s because he’s always on losing teams. He also doesn’t help the cause as his basketball iq is shit and he doesn’t contribute anything to winning basketball. While I agree Jalen Smith and Zach Collins are better defenders they are also worse offensively. None of that changes the fact that the team is just bad.
This has been obvious since last year.
Now do a comparison of their offense

For people who want to see how the players fair when they are on the court per game.
Unfair to say underutilized when Vooch has been the healthiest one out of the 3.
When they were all healthy I thought the rotations were quite solid. A lot of double big line-up mix ups too.
Edit: out of the 3, I think Bulls should only keep Jalen for next season+. I like Vooch and Zach but it’s time to move on from Vooch but if he wants to stay on a team friendly as a vet that wouldn’t be the worst. My only issue with Zach is his durability.. had a friend who is a Spurs fan joke that he’d be more concerned that Zach didn’t start the season injured 😅
Vuc is great when we have lack of playmaking or scoring on the floor. When we are too heavy in playmaking he ends up being the scorer. When we have too much scoring he ends up doing the playmaking. Basically he’d slot in perfect off of the bench with our current roster if healthy but at this current moment its not feasible nor would it ever be feasible because both Jalen and Collins are more prone to injuries.
