48. "Short term, absolutely not. But they have higher upside." In response to In response to 22
Vuc is a very safe pick to produce, and he’ll easily produce more than what any of those dudes will next year and the year after. That said, I do think it’s fair to be concerned that LaVine and Vuc is an upside-7-seed-at-most kind of core, because neither guy is good on defense, and Vuc would be a defensive liability come playoffs when switching is the name of the game against most of the better teams.
So it all depends. If their goal is to win more in the next 1-2 years, I think Vuc is easily the better choice. But if their goal is to ultimately return to true contention? … yeah, I don’t know what the answer is, other than straight up blow it up. Or hope for some *serious* talent development from the staff and roster.
