If I'm the Raptors, I basically leave Vucevic unguarded, have Poeltl defend the paint, and play everyone else straight up. Maybe Vuc beats them, but my guess is that as long as they have someone at least closing out on him (and they've got plenty of long and quick guys to do that), he probably doesn't.

I actually don't think the Raptors are actually all that great defensively outside of OG. They're just long. The Bulls should resist the Vuc spot up strategy when it's offered. Have him screen, for Zach and DeMar, try to clog up OG, and I think Zach and DeMar can outscore the Raptors.
