Is Zach LaVine’s lack of explosion early in the season a signal of shaking off rust or a need to evolve his game? The Bulls’ two-time All-Star weighs in.
LaVine laughed when told not every game will be a referendum on his twice-surgically-repaired left knee. Still, LaVine’s lack of driving until the fourth quarter was hard to ignore.
Some qualifiers: LaVine was playing his third game in four nights that featured his first set of back-to-back games. The Celtics switch frequently and collapse into the lane, a defensive trait that both LaVine and coach Billy Donovan noted when asked about LaVine’s night. Added Donovan: “I think one of the things he was trying to do, which I thought was a positive, was they were switching a lot. And he was looking for some opportunities behind some switches to maybe get off a couple 3s. In doing that, it may have taken away some of the aggressiveness. I did think in the second half he was trying to get downhill some. He didn’t get a lot of good angles. But he got fouled some and got to the free-throw line.
