Actually, all the advanced stats, all the reports I've read, and the few times I've seen him play this year--they all point to a player who is much improved this year on the defensive end. His pick and roll awareness is much better.  He's more alert and focused on that end.  He's always been a very strong defensive rebounder, and he's got good offensive skills.

Vooch is definitely a guy I'd love to see on the Celtics.

You guys do realize KO routinely outplays Al Horford right? And that Vuc is better than KO.

I thought KO and Al played together?

routinely?  I'll probably realize that right after I realize I can flap my arms and fly

One player's not that great and the other is allergic to rebounds....and offense.

Trading a BKN pick for a bench player?  No thanks.
Better than Horford
at what, Chutes and Ladders?
We're talking about the center of Orlando? Am I misspelling his name? Because for that guy it's NBA basketball. If that guy bumped into Horford he's say "Here's a hundred dollars. Go buy a rebound" and Horford would say "Please sir. I need more."

Horford would steal his lunch money and send him home to mommy.

Vucevic can get all the meaningless rebounds he wants. He's never played on a winning basketball team. Horford has always played on winning basketball teams. Rebounds are worthless without wins. Horford gets you wins.
