Analysis:

Vucevic is a good defensive rebounder, but he's not known as a staunch defender. For fantasy, it'll be interesting to see if Skiles' defensive schemes result in any statistical production changes for Vucevic. One of the biggest knocks against Vucevic being a top-flight center in fantasy has been his lack of blocks. He averaged just 0.7 blocks per games this season in a career-high 34 minutes per game.
