I had the sense before that Bullocks shot would start to fall in. His quick release and shooting mechanics just fit perfectly with the way Luka plays. What surprised me more is actually his defense. Earlier in the year i thought he wasnt exactly exelling on defense. He has been quiet great recently on defense and moves well and makes smart positioning. He is just a much better fit as that catch and shoot player next to Luka than THJ. Why? He has even quicker release, and he takes much wiser shots than THJ. He shots when the crease is there. We do see at least 2-3 shots per game from THJ where he literally is not open. Add to that Bullock better defense.
Still Bullock has some inconsistencies as a shooter, but its looking better and better. He is learning how to position himself in a Luka offense. His positioning waiting for the ball has improved. He is more pro-active rather than waiting as he did earlier this season. He knows when the pass is coming. This has significantly increased his confidence.
Its a little bit like QB and WR. Luka knows more about Bullock now and other way around. Luka is hitting him better, and Bullock just knows when the pass is coming and that the crease will be there, and literally there is no chance he will be blocked on the play. Then its like a 3 point shot contest.
