2024 Fantasy Outlook
Vucevic was a picture of health once again during the 2023-24 season, playing in 76 of a possible 82 games. While it was a relatively successful season for the veteran, it is clear he is starting to slow down on both ends of the floor. After having ranked inside the top 30 for eight of the previous nine seasons, Vucevic fell to be the 49th-ranked player in nine-category leagues. His numbers were comparable to the past two years, averaging 18.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers. As is typically the case with Vucevic, he managed to return value thanks to the fact he fell in drafts. The Bulls appear as though they have finally accepted the fact that mediocrity is not the way forward. At this stage, it appears as though Vucevic will begin the season as the starting center in Chicago. However, if they do opt to go in another direction, he could find himself on the move at some point. As of right now, he is likely to continue doing what he does, providing strong rebound numbers to go with versatile scoring and decent efficiency. Managers should expect him to go off the board in the sixth round of most drafts, a position from which he could possibly return value once again, assuming he remains with the Bulls.

Leading rebounder in double-double
Vucevic contributed 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 109-90 loss to Miami in the Play-In Tournament.
ANALYSIS
Vucevic was strong in the paint for Chicago in the Play-In Tournament battle against the Heat, leading all Bulls in rebounds and blocks while finishing as one of two players with a double-double performance in Chicago's final game of the season. Vucevic was a double-double machine this year, accomplishing the feat in 45 outings during the regular season and carrying that into the postseason Wednesday.

Although Vucevic's scoring numbers have declined slightly over his first two years with the Bulls compared to his final few seasons with the Magic, he's been remarkably consistent to begin his time in Chicago. He's averaged 14.9 field-goal attempts over the last two seasons after averaging 17.8 field-goal attempts per contest over the previous three campaigns. He averaged 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists in back-to-back seasons and played in all 82 games for the first time in his career during the 2022-23 campaign. Vucevic relied more on his efficiency last year, as he posted 14.0 field-goal attempts per game -- his lowest mark since 2016-17 -- but converted 52.0 percent of those attempts, which was the second-highest mark of his career. The 32-year-old has averaged double-doubles in each of the past five seasons and re-signed with Chicago on a three-year, $60 million deal during the offseason. Although the Bulls also added Torrey Craig to their frontcourt during the offseason, Vucevic's role should remain consistent during the 2023-24 campaign. Vucevic doesn't have quite as much upside as some other fantasy centers, especially amid his downturn in scoring production. However, he still generates consistent fantasy results and has been able to stay on the court in recent years, playing at least 62 games in five consecutive seasons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

In rumor mill again
Vucevic's name could pop up in trade talks again this offseason, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Chicago's top two options at center, Vucevic and Zach Collins, will be on expiring contracts in 2025-26. Vucevic's deal is worth $21.48 million, and after drawing considerable interest from teams like the Warriors and Lakers in 2025-26, he will likely have a decent market once again. Entering his age-35 season, Vucevic still has plenty left in the tank after averaging 18.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists across 73 regular-season games.
