In 55 games, the talented Orlando Magic center has been worth rostering in tournaments, reaching the value we're looking for on 32.7% of them. His tournament-to-cash percentage (18 out of 25) of 72% is the highest of all qualified centers, clearly telling us he's only a prime target in tournaments.

His ceiling says the same -- the big man has 3 games with at least 50 FDP and 14 with more than 40.

A big element to Vucevic's tournament makeup is his playing time. He averages 28.5 minutes, but he's had 36 games below 30 minutes and has played more than 30 minutes just 19 times.
