Nikola Vucevic starred for the hapless Orlando Magic for years before they traded him in the middle of the 2020/21 Season to the Chicago Bulls, and though he has not seen much playoff success there either, it is a much better situation.

Vucevic played in the 2021 All-Star Game two weeks before he was dealt to Orlando, and with the Bulls, he had Zach LaVine and later DeMar DeRozan allowing him not to have to carry the load.  He finished his run that year in Chicago with 21.5 Points per Game.

Over the last two seasons, Vucevic has continued to average a double-double, with similar statistical years of approximately 17 Points and 11 Rebounds per Game. He is in his early 30 going into this year, but still has a lot left to offer and should rise significant rungs on this ladder.
